Discovery and Health

Discovery Health is the biggest health insurance and medical aid scheme in South Africa - a position it has gained in a relatively short space of time, due to innovative products, and an approach to medical insurance that stresses preventative healthy lifestyles, and which rewards customers for taking care of their health so as not to have to use their medical aid. Not only does this contribute to a healthier population, it also reduces the stress on health services, and reduces the number of medical aid claims made - thus providing a buffer against medical aid expenditure and rising premiums. It is able to leverage its economies of scale to benefit customers in a variety of ways, which has contributed significantly to its success and popularity.
