The Health Department says members of the Ministerial Advisory Committee will develop and implement a plan for the National Health Insurance System.

Health Minister Aaron Motsoaledi announced the members of the committee on Thursday.

It will be headed by the HSRC’s CEO Olive Shisana.

The department’s Fidel Hadebe said the 25 committee members have a major task ahead of them and will have to listen to public comments before advising the ministry on what to include in the final implementation plan.
