We also heard from Dr
Abdul Barday - Ombudsman for the Health Professional Council of South Africa or
HPCSA. He was speaking to us about the New Guideline Tariffs for Medical and Dental
Services. The Health Professions Council of South Africa announced the
implementation of new Guideline Tariffs in terms of Section 53 of the Health
Professions Act (Act No 56 of 1974) that will serve a dual purpose to protect
the public and guide healthcare practitioners on the rendering of accounts in
terms of the prescribed ethical guidelines on informed consent by ensuring
their clients/patients are fully informed about the cost of the potential
service to be rendered. For
