1. Legislative Provisions Prohibiting the Refusal of Emergency Medical
Treatment in South Africa
The right to receive emergency medical treatment is a fundamental aspect of healthcare
ethics and legal responsibility in South Africa. Several legislative provisions prohibit the
refusal to render such treatment, reflecting the state’s obligation to uphold the
constitutional rights of all individuals. This essay examines the main legal instruments
that protect access to emergency care, including who is bound by these laws and how
they are interpreted within the healthcare context.
Section 27(3) of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, serves as the
foundational legal provision in this regard. It states clearly that “no one may be refused
emergency medical treatment.” This right is part of the broader socio-economic rights
enshrined in the Constitution and is intended to ensure that individuals in life-
threatening situations are not denied potentially life-saving care due to their socio-
economic status or inability to pay.
