#𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝𝐓𝐁𝐃𝐚𝐲

Tuberculosis (TB) is preventable and curable, yet it still affects many people every year. Today we are joining the global movement to say: Yes! We Can End TB. Early testing and treatment can save lives and stop the spread. If you have a persistent cough, fever, or night sweats, get tested early.

Your health matters check your benefits and take care of yourself.

Access to quality care should never be a privilege.

As we join the nation in celebrating Human Rights Day, we reaffirm our commitment to the dignity of every worker. We believe that providing our members with dependable, high-quality care is more than a service, it is a contribution to a more just and equitable society.

We stand for your health. We stand for your rights.

Our Story

As one of the most affordable medical aid schemes in South Africa catering specifically to local government employees and associated industries, we strive to deliver the best healthcare cover through two different medical aid plans that include essential healthcare benefits at low contributions. The Scheme's underlying principles support the view that all South Africans are entitled to quality healthcare at a fair cost and that society must unite to ensure its adequate funding. As such, SAMWUMED sees itself as more than just a facilitator for healthcare transactions but as a guardian of our members' rights.
