Walking The Wellness Journey Together
At Bonitas Medical Fund we understand that South Africans are struggling with an economic backdrop of market volatility, rising unemployment and declining incomes. Add to that spiralling utility costs and fuel increases and things are even tighter financially for everyone.
When income is stretched, decisions on where to spend and save become critical, including whether or not to spend hard-earned income on private healthcare. Lee Callakoppen, Principal Officer of Bonitas Medical Fund says, ‘Healthcare is emotive and illness is always a challenging time, which means that, as a medical scheme, we need to be responsive to the ever changing needs in terms of our healthcare funding options’.
