South Africa’s richest province running out of nurses

Gauteng's public health system is losing close to 100 nurses every single month – a rate faster than new nurses can be trained to replace them.

I see the problem. National government sets the standards, provinces have to find the budgets...

Google:

In South Africa, health services are a concurrent national and provincial legislative competency under Schedule 4 (Part A) of the Constitution. How Competency is Divided:

National Department of Health (NDoH): Responsible for overall policy formulation, setting national norms and standards, coordination, and ensuring the constitutional right of access to healthcare.

Provincial Departments of Health: Responsible for the actual implementation of health policy, running public hospitals and clinics, managing personnel, and delivering primary healthcare services, within their respective provinces.
