Unique medical aid scheme launched

OUT of Zimbabwe’s current population, pegged at 16 900 757, 90% do not have health insurance, a situation which is exacerbated by the high rate of unemployment and the prevailing harsh economic conditions.

In an effort to ease the situation and ensure that everyone has access to health care, Zimbabwe General Medical Aid Fund (ZG Medical Aid) has come up with affordable medical cover targeting sportspersons as well as those in the informal sector.

ZG Medical Aid chief operations officer, Takudzwa Gumbo said their aim was to provide medical cover to all people regardless of economic standing and employment status as the current medical aid schemes required proof of employment.
