According to the General Household Survey done in 2017, StatsSA reported that only 17 in 100 South Africans have access to private medical insurance. We also understand that only 4 million of the 20 million employed South Africans are principal members of private medical insurance. 

This means those who do not have access to medical insurance are dependent on public healthcare. 

As a Locum and Healthcare Professional, you might have access to medical insurance and hospital facilities however, a family member such as your parent, sibling or member of your community may not have the same access. 

Medical expenses are sometimes unexpected and sometimes this means costs over and above the doctor’s consultation, like medication. 

Times are extremely tough and even if you are insured by private medical insurance, your medical savings may run out around mid to the end of the year. 

Even if the medical expense is expected, like the birth of a child, there may be a shortage of funds to see to the full procedure, which can result in financial strain and complications. 

At LocumBase, we empower you with a solution that can help you extend your natural medical sensibility to the ones closest to you.
