Affordable Access to Healthcare: Concerns have been raised about the number of Gen Z professionals in South Africa who do not belong to medical schemes. In response, Discovery is introducing a new medical plan called"Active Smart" specifically designed for young professionals in 2025. Sustainability of the Scheme: The premium increase is necessary to keep pace with industry trends. According to Kotze, without these adjustments, the scheme would have to either reduce benefits or face potential failure. However, he emphasises that they are enhancing benefits, particularly in areas such as women’s health and mental health.
Precision Healthcare: The focus is on investing in the health of members, with incentives for those actively engaging in their wellness journey.
