One of the key insights noted was that mental health prevalence is at an all-time high . This is exacerbated by factors such as an increased economic burden and increased psycho-social challenges , such as load shedding .

We have seen a 25 % increase in the number of mental health hospital admissions , indicating a need for additional support . This need is particularly high in the 18 to 44 age groups . We further noted that mental health was a key driver of absenteeism in corporate groups .
For this reason , we have included the Bonitas Mental Healthcare Programme across all plans for 2024 and included depression as a chronic condition . We also offer access to Panda , a digital platform available through the Bonitas app , giving members easy access to expert help , mental health information and community support .
