As of the fiscal year 2021/2022, the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA), suspended 9,892 health practitioners for not paying their annual fees. This was a decrease from the previous fiscal year, which recorded 11,770 suspensions of membership. Over the observed periods, a total of 1,097 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.
