South African medical practitioners’ experiences of the current health-care delivery system Stoyanov, Joan Ellen Edwards, S.D. Thwala, J.D. South Africa is at a critical point in the debate about the future of health-care in the occupation-specific dispensation (OSD). It also faces the exodus of valuable human resources that was perceived as greener pastures, as medical practitioners become increasingly dissatisfied with governmental policy, wage negotiations, work-place disillusionment, lack of service delivery, expressions of corruptions, and lack of resources. This research aimed to thematically analyse the experiences, opinions and feelings of medical practitioners in both the public and private health-care sectors as well as explored international trends with the intention of drawing comparisons, highlighting problem areas, and discussion of possible solutions. It was hoped that this research would contribute towards understanding the dynamics that marked the exodus of medical practitioners from South Africa, at a time when change in the health-care system was imminent. In order for the medical practitioners to remain in the current health-care system, a new dialogue would have been opened in which their concerns could be raised and evaluated.
