'We have to prioritise South Africans': Anti-migrant movement blocks foreigners from healthcare

In South Africa, an anti-migrant movement has been blocking foreigners from accessing healthcare services in certain clinics, with little intervention from the authorities. The activists argue that healthcare resources should prioritize South African citizens over foreign nationals. This action has raised concerns about the denial of basic human rights and access to essential medical care, particularly for vulnerable populations. The article highlights the tensions surrounding immigration and the allocation of public services, which have become a polarizing political issue in the country. While the government's response has been seen as lackluster, the situation underscores the need for a comprehensive and inclusive approach to healthcare provision, balancing the needs of all residents regardless of their nationality or immigration status.
