South Africa’s 2025/26 Health Department budget is a bold plan to improve healthcare for everyone. It focuses on building new hospitals, hiring thousands of doctors and health workers, and using smart technology to plan better services. The government aims to make healthcare fair and easy to access, no matter where people live or how much money they have. Big efforts will also continue to fight HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis with new treatments and steady support. This budget brings hope for a healthier, stronger South Africa.
