South Africa is a country on the tip of the African continent with a population of 60 million and a land mass the size of Texas. The healthcare structure is a combination of state-based care where every resident has access to basic healthcare; this involves long queues and waiting times, limited drugs and resources for 85% of the population. The remaining 15% is funded through private medical insurance or privately funded with access to first-world medical care equivalent to the best the world has to offer.
