Expert advice on private healthcare inquiry
Genesis was commissioned by the Competition Commission of South Africa to provide expert advice on a potential inquiry into the private healthcare industry, which was prompted by a concern over the increases in costs in the private sector.
Based on its investigation of competition issues in healthcare funding, the provision of healthcare services and the provision of consumables and medicines, the project team provided an opinion on what the focus of the inquiry should be. It also provided the research required in order to deal with key issues in the various focus areas.
Following the advice provided by Genesis, the commission announced in 2013 that inquiry would start in September of that year.
