Julia Chaskalson of SECTION 27 argues that for healthcare, a post-pandemic human rights-focused budget would have allocated funding specifically for backlogs in access to health services from the past two years, as well as tackling the present inequities in access to healthcare that characterise the public health system. She says that this year’s budget does not do enough to enable the government to realise people’s fundamental human right to access healthcare.
