Prescribed Minimum Benefits (PMB) is a set of defined benefits to ensure that all medical scheme members have access to certain minimum services, regardless of which medical aid scheme they have joined. The aim is to make medical care more affordable and to ensure everyone has access to quality eye care.

PMB's have to be covered by all medical schemes, based on the Medical Schemes Act. This month we'll shed some light on these PMB's, giving all enough information to ensure they can call for care, when needed.

Dr Gerhard Kok, President of the South African Vitreoretinal Society, a sub-society of OSSA, said that about 1.7% of diabetic patients would develop diabetic retinopathy, while improved life expectancy globally meant that worldwide incidence of age-related macular degeneration was expected to reach 288-million in 2040, from 196-million in 2020. “We hope that World Retina Week 2020 will contribute to raise awareness for this vulnerable part of our population and that citizens will join hands to help ease their plight. Small acts of kindness go a long way in helping partially sighted or blind people to cope during these challenging times”
