As of the fiscal year 2021/2022, 19,937 healthcare practitioners were registered by the Health Professions Council of South Africa. This presents a decrease of just over three thousand compared to the previous year, which recorded 23,020 registered practitioners. Considering the number of removals, throughout the period in review, this is a cause for concern as there is already a critical shortage.
