The Traditional Health Practitioners Act No 22 (2007): A godsend or an act that spells doom for South Africa ’s healthcare?

Conclusion Political influences played a strong part in the pro mulgation of the Traditional Health Practitioners Act in 2007. In 2017 it is still not fully operational and the indication is that it will take years for the traditional health practitioner to become a full member of the health sector, if ever. This health Act can cause serious long-term disturbanc es for the already established healthcare practitioners and the statutory healthcare sector.
