In South Africa many people can’t afford the costs associated with a medical aid. This is often as the result of fees becoming more expensive every year. The fact is, not everyone is able to afford traditional medical aid packages on offer. This has created a gap in the market for alternative healthcare insurance providers.
Edgars has extensive history in the South African retail market. Since the first Edgars store opened in the country in 1929, the company has grown considerably to become a leading chain store and reputable brand, renowned for quality products.
By expanding into the financial services sector, Edgars has managed to improve their overall offerings to customers.
The Edgars Hospital Plan is a convenient financial solution for individuals who can’t afford medical aid.
Underwritten by Hollard Life Assurance Company, the Edgars Hospital Plan is not a medical aid.
