It is an occupational health solution offered through the private medical practitioners of the CareCross Health Group, the largest national network of GP’s, Radiologists and Pathologists who collectively embrace the concept of affordable healthcare. DomestiCare has been designed for domestic workers in South Africa to help keep employees (who were previously excluded from any form of private healthcare) healthy and productive at work. It is offered to all domestic workers employed in a role for a private household. DomestiCare means no more waiting all day in queues to try and see a doctor at a state facility. It means no more travelling, sometimes far from home or place of work early in the morning, to attempt to get to be seen by a doctor. Your domestic worker can make an appointment at a time that suits them and you and they will be seen by a private GP from the CareCross network. If they need acute medication e.g. medicine required to treat a short-term illness, then the required medicine will be prescribed. If the medicine is on the CareCross formulary then there will be nothing to pay. Radiology and pathology tests, if requested by the GP, are also covered – as well as some maternity and HIV benefits. With DomestiCare Plus there are the added benefits of dentistry and optometry, after the required waiting periods. DomestiCare aims to give you and your domestic worker peace-of-mind that their healthcare needs are being properly looked after. DomestiCare brings affordable quality healthcare to your domestic worker.
