I am sensitive to the health care needs of migrants and refugees I provide the same quality of care to migrants and refugees as I do to South Africans I believe migrants and refugees should be covered under the NHI I discriminate against migrant and refugee patients I have delayed health care to patients because of their migrant or refugee status I believe migrant and refugee patients should go back to their home country for health care I believe that migrant and refugee patients only come to South Africa for health care services
