on page 40 . And Craig Comrie , Profmed ’ s CEO , elaborates on the connection between health and digitalisation on page 37 , arguing that there is a marvellous future ahead for healthcare as the industry continues to invest in the digital journeys of its customers .
Motshabi Nomvethe discusses why it is important that cover and benefits keep pace with insurance inflation on page 10 . This is one of the major benefits of being a PPS member – further cover is available through our annual benefit increases without additional underwriting or paperwork , and members do have the option to waive the increase if individual circumstances are such that it is not required . As always , we encourage members to consult with their financial advisers if advice is needed .
At PPS we serve a special segment of society – the professionals who are often the movers and shakers in academia , business , government and communities . It is a privilege to profile them , and this time it is the turn of Professor Jannie Rossouw , who had an interesting career at the South African Reserve Bank and in tertiary education ( page 20 ) and Professor Fathima Paruk in healthcare ( page 27 ).
My youngest is approaching his matric exams and I had to tackle the odd mathematics paper with him recently because dad has some actuarial background after all !

Jacques Loubser , the PPS Group Chief Information Officer , advises on IT security and mailbox management on page 33 . And in every edition , there is of course a book review ( this time on connecting with friends , family and colleagues , page 18 ), UCook recipes ( page 22 ), and much more . Many articles have a ( post- ) lockdown flavour . I trust that you will find this edition of The Professional again enjoyable and valueadding .
