Did you know? Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in South Africa – yet many heart conditions can be prevented through early detection and healthy lifestyle choices.

At SAMWUMED, we care about your heart. That’s why members have access to free health screenings as part of our preventative care benefits — including blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes tests.

Visit your nearest network provider or health screening event to check in on your heart health.

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.
