Overview
As a result of the changing socio-economic environment in South Africa and its impact on the provision of health care in the country, the need arose for the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) to determine what may be regarded as acceptable business practices in the healthcare sector in order to protect the public. The Business Practice Policy document is therefore an exposition of some of the areas that continually beset the health care industry and affect the professional practices of practitioners registered with Council.
