Number of health practitioner removals in South Africa 2020-2024, by category
As of the fiscal year 2023/2024, the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), suspended health practitioners for not paying their annual fees. This was a decrease from the previous fiscal year, which recorded suspensions of membership. Over the observed periods, a total of health practitioners chose to voluntarily end their membership. This is likely due to the inflating mandatory annual registration fees, which are due by the first of April each year.
