QUESTION 1
The Constitution protects the right of access to health care services. Section 27 provides
that everyone has the right to have access to health care services. 1 The word everyone is
important because it includes citizens and non citizens who are living in South Africa.
In Khosa v Minister of Social Development the Constitutional Court held that permanent
residents could not be excluded from social grants simply because they were not citizens.1
The Court explained that socio economic rights in the Constitution are not limited to citizens
unless the text clearly says so. Although that case dealt with social assistance, the
reasoning applies to health care because the right is also granted to everyone.
