What sets Bankmed apart?

'We believe that we must embark on a journey aimed at dramatically improving the way our members engage with wellness. By assessing the way that the COVID-19 pandemic has so rapidly changed the way we manage our health and our behaviour, I believe that with the correct leadership and focus, we can do the same when it comes to managing our day-to-day health management going forward.' Bankmed CEO, Teddy Mosomothane.

Preventive screening tests and wellness initiatives

Our wellness initiatives at your work place, help you to identify any conditions before they become a problem. We pay for your screening tests and ensure that you get the best possible treatment. Aside from helping to improve your longevity and overall mental and physical wellbeing, wellness initiatives also aid in lowering the cost of healthcare, reducing absenteeism, increasing productivity, reducing injuries, compensation and disability-related costs, and they help boost morale and loyalty within an organisation.
