Licence Applications
Healthcare in most if not all countries around the world is considered a public good. Therefore the Department of Health is the custodian of healthcare delivery in South Africa. This includes care delivered at public as well as private facilities. The private healthcare facility licensing responsibility is devolved to the provincial departments.
The requirements for such facilities are laid down in regulation R158 from 1980, as amended 1996. As laid out in section 44 of the Health Act of 1977 (Act 63 of 1977), the power to expand and set provincial regulations are delegated to provinces. In these provinces the regulation R158 is superseded by the local regulations and policies.
