Gauteng Health to sign MoU with private hospitals and medical aid schemes to curb the burden of lifestyle diseases
Gauteng MEC for Health, Dr Gwen Ramokgopa, will tomorrow sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) as part of a public-private partnership between the Gauteng Department of Health, private hospitals, medical aid schemes and administrators.
