Medical Xenophobia - Public Hospitals Deny Migrants Health Care Services - SAHRC
29 March 2018
On Wednesday the Gauteng provincial SAHRC (South African Human Rights Commission) held a discussion on the access of health care services for migrants in South Africa.
According to the SAHRC, access to health care for migrants is hindered by the conflation of the various categories of migrants and their respective rights and entitlements, this then results to all migrants being treated as either economic migrants or as illegal migrants who have little to no legal entitlements to socio-economic rights, such as the right to proper health care.

MEDIA STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRPERSON OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION

The South African Human Rights Commission is shocked and saddened by the passing of Mrs Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.
“Mrs Madikizela-Mandela’s contribution to the struggle for liberation, human rights and democracy in South Africa is unparalleled by many others in the world. Her commitment to the cause of justice and freedom never wavered, even in the face of unimaginable personal persecution and banishment by apartheid and in spite of the pain, loss and trauma that she was made to endure under white racist rule. Her defiance was matched only by the love of her people and her determination to see them freed from the shackles of oppression,” said the Chairperson of the South African Human Rights Commission, Advocate Bongani Majola.
