Health challenges

Medical aid cover is so expensive that many people find themselves wondering if they really need it. The short and simple answer to this question is yes, you do really need a medical aid. Paying out of your pocket for planned or unexpected medical expenses will cost you much more than paying for medical aid cover. Also:

• You can choose an option that best suits your personal health needs and your budget.
• You’ll have peace of mind, knowing you’ll be covered if you face large or unexpected medical costs.
• You’ll have access to private medical care at a variety of health facilities, rather than having to rely on public health facilities.
• You can review your selected plan and preferred options every year, so that you can make changes in line with your health and budget.
