Growing and diversifying beyond South Africa has always been a strategic
imperative. We have a presence in Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland, Kenya,
Zimbabwe and Mauritius, and are still looking to expand.
Collaborating with Sanlam presents opportunities to enhance the combined
product offering of the medical schemes under the Group’s management and
enter new markets.

management market and optimise the value of the money our clients spend on
healthcare.
