South Africa plans to spend more on health and defense after US cuts aid.

An additional 28.9 billion rand ( $1.5 billion ) was earmarked for health spending in the 2025 budget.

The extra money will pay the salaries of roughly 9,300 medical personnel in clinics and hospitals.

The increase comes amid concerns that South Africa’s health system will be strained by cuts to USAID .
