SUPPORT THROUGH OUR CARE PROGRAMMES
The prevalence of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension have increased year-on-year . This is further compounded by the increased burden of mental health which is a risk factor for non-communicable diseases and vice versa .
We have therefore enhanced our approach to providing support to our members with non-communicable diseases . We have a range of care programmes to provide our members with the best care and support . These programmes include :
• Audiology
• HIV / AIDS
• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Mental health
• Back and neck
• Hip and knee replacements
• Hospital-at-home
To ensure that we provide our members with access to enhanced care , we have created a disease-specific approach for conditions with a high prevalence within our membership and South Africa , such as hypertension and high cholesterol . We ’ ve contracted a network of doctors who are experts in treating these conditions to improve clinical outcomes for members and putting them on the path to wellness .
CHILD DEPENDANTS
In keeping with our theme of caring for you and your family , we have increased the child dependant age to 24 years – regardless of whether they are studying or not .
