NHI digital infrastructure budget
30%
Clinics with inadequate connectivity
Disconnected facilities
Rural clinics and district hospitals lack reliable network links to central health systems, preventing access to electronic patient records.
Ageing ICT infrastructure
Outdated cabling, failing UPS, and under-resourced data centres cause frequent downtime in life-critical environments.
Inadequate cybersecurity
Healthcare data is among the most targeted — yet many facilities run unpatched systems, with no SIEM or SOC monitoring in place.
NHI & POPIA compliance gaps
Facilities struggle to meet the digital readiness requirements of the National Health Insurance Act and POPIA patient data obligations.
