Two Stellenbosch economists appointed to ministerial task team

Ronelle Burger and Kholekile Malindi have recently been appointed to serve on the ministerial task team on Human Resources planning. The previous human resource plan for health has lapsed so there is an urgent need to develop a new plan. Due to short time lines, pending NHI reforms and fiscal constraints, this will be challenging but important work. Ronelle and Kholekile are both in the needs and costs work stream, tasked with estimating the required size and skill composition of our country’s health workforce over the next 10 years.
