Bankmed Pensioners Project (BioFITT)

Each year Bankmed runs the Annual National Pensioner Project. The aim of this initiative is to encourage preventative care for our pensioners. Knowing your health is the first step to healthy aging. With our wellness assessments, conditions such as high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes can be detected sooner and enable you to manage your health better.

We collaborate with BioFITT Wellness to bring you convenient wellness tests, preventative screening and vaccinations in the comfort of your home. These screenings can also be arranged with your GP or pharmacy.

The Pensioner Project is a bundle of wellness screening and preventative vaccinations which include:

• Personal Health Assessment (PHA): This is a combination of questions about your health, and measuring various health indicators such as your cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar and body mass index (BMI).
• HIV/AIDS Counselling and Testing (HCT)
• Flu vaccination: You need to get a flu vaccination every year since the vaccine only protects against the current year's strain of flu.

The screenings and tests are all covered from your insured benefits which means you are able to take full advantage of this offer and it will neither affect your day-to-day benefits nor your medical savings account.

You can find out more information or book your Personal Health Assessments, tests or vaccinations by contacting BioFITT Wellness on 021 820 4858.
