JOHANNESBURG - The Section 59 panel that was commissioned to investigate claims of discrimination against black, coloured and Indian healthcare professionals by medical aid schemes said that the allegations were true.
It has released a scathing report on how black, coloured and Indian practitioners were racially singled out as likely to commit fraud. Between 2012 and 2019, which is the period of the investigation, black practitioners and by black, I mean African, Indian and coloured black practitioners, were more likely to be found to have committed fraud, waste and abuse than non-black, in other words, white counterparts.
