Who decides where doctors work? Court says not the state

Guest: Professor Eric Buch | Professor of Public Health at University of Pretoria Thabo Shole-Mashao speaks to Eric Buch after the Constitutional Court scrapped the certificate of need, ruling that the government cannot decide where doctors practice. It’s a victory for individual rights, but with thousands of unemployed doctors and rural communities still struggling for access, the bigger question remains: how does South Africa build a fair and functional healthcare system?
