#3  Universal Health Coverage in Africa: What South Africa Can Learn from Rwanda & Ghana

Loading player...
What will it take to make Universal Health Coverage a reality in South Africa?
In this episode of In Focus, Lubalethu Dube speaks with healthcare analyst Kgaogelo Maredi about the lessons we can draw from Rwanda and Ghana—two African countries making major strides in healthcare access.
Together, they unpack the essential ingredients for success: strong political leadership, cross-sector collaboration, long-term funding strategies, and governance.
They also examine major risks, including over-reliance on donor funding, fraud, and healthcare infrastructure gaps in rural areas. Above all, Kgaogelo reminds us: this is not an overnight process—it’s a decades-long effort that demands vision, patience, and trust.
