In South Africa, medical aid tariffs are beyond the reach of more than 80% of the nation’s citizens. This means that many people forego having access to healthcare because they can’t afford it. In recent years, this has changed, with the introduction of a range of short term insurance providers such as One Plan Health Insurance.
More about One Plan Health Insurance:

One Plan is essentially a short term insurance product underwritten by Zurich Insurance Company South Africa Limited that “puts healthcare in the hands of more South Africans”.
It is a great alternative for 80% of South Africans who cannot afford traditional medical aid. Along with a claims process that is uncomplicated, One Plan Health Insurance gives clients the opportunity to use their healthcare provider of choice.
