South Africa has some of the best PRIVATE health care in the world, but the public health care facilities are very poor (that's trying to be diplomatic).
NB: It is crucial that you have medical aid / insurance cover. Private health care is expensive and private hospitals will insist on upfront payment if you are not insured. It can literally be a matter of life or death if you have a medical emergency.
