The participation of independent private general practitioners (GPs) is of fundamental importance to the successful implementation of such reform. Research has indicated that improved engagement and collaboration between private GPs and policymakers is needed. This is especially relevant since the NHI Bill was tabled in parliament in July 2019, with proposals for the establishment of contracting units for primary healthcare (CUPs).enNational Health InsurancePublic healthStakeholder engagementCape Town Metropolitan MunicipalityCovid-19University of the Western Cape
