Healthcare in South Africa

South Africa has, in general, excellent healthcare and is divided into public and private sectors. Public healthcare tends to be overextended and under resourced, while private healthcare is world-class and favoured by the middle to high-income bracket. Most cities, towns and villages have clinics, hospitals and General Practitioners.
