Bonitas Medical Fund, in partnership with humanitarian organisation Gift of the Givers, recently awarded bursaries to three medical students: Keikantse Swaratlhe (23), Blake Delroy Pierce Green (28) and Singita Manganye (24) at Wits University. The students are among some of the top performers at the university, looking to specialise in various fields including dermatology, paediatrics and internal medicine. As they look forward to learning and growing their knowledge in medicine, the bursaries come at a crucial time, providing financial support and easing the burden of university fees. In addition to financial assistance, the bursary programme aims to help address some of the challenges facing the medical fraternity in South Africa, including overloaded public hospitals, understaffed clinics and a shortage of medical professionals.
For 2025 we have a renewed Female Health Programme:In collaboration with CareWorks, it’s accessible to all female members aged 18 and above, with an emphasis on preventative care and early detection of female-specific health issues. In addition, we have an enhanced Maternity Programme to support expecting mothers. This includes early identification of and weekly engagement for high-risk pregnancies, post-childbirth care and associated mental health follow-up calls for new mums, given the prevalence of pre and postnatal depression. Also, milestone reminders for children under 3 and cover for antenatal vitamins through savings, day-to-day benefits or the Benefit Booster
