South African doctors reportedly earn salaries similar to what they had earned in 2012 and 2013, and are currently 13% below the expected income levels for their profession due to inflation.
This is according to findings discussed at a panel hosted by the South African Medical Association (SAMA) to dissect the trends in doctors' salaries over the past decade.
The panel discussion aimed to address the issue of doctors' salaries in the country and explored whether these incomes have kept pace with inflation and the economic realities facing the nation today.
