International Day of Older Persons celebrates the contributions of older generations while highlighting the healthcare, social and financial challenges many face as they age, from chronic disease management to access to frail care.

Understanding what your medical aid covers as you or your loved ones grow older, from screenings to specialist care, is an important part of planning for a healthy retirement.

Understanding your medical aid's cover for cardiac screening, chronic medication and specialist care can help you take a proactive approach to heart health, rather than only responding once a problem arises.

At Cedar Healthcare, we believe a healthy heart starts with informed choices, today and every day.

From dispensing chronic medication to offering trusted health advice, pharmacists are often a patient's first point of contact with the healthcare system.

World Pharmacist Day recognises the vital role pharmacists play in medicine safety, chronic disease management and public health education, frequently going far beyond simply handing over a prescription.

Understanding your medicine benefits, including which pharmacies form part of your scheme's network, can help you avoid unnecessary co-payments and ensure continuity of your chronic treatment.

Ever wondered why your medical aid asks you to use certain doctors, pharmacies or hospitals?

A network provider is a healthcare professional or facility that has an agreement with your medical scheme to deliver services at a negotiated rate.
We help members understand their options so they can make confident, informed choices about their care.

As we mark African Traditional Medicine Day, we reflect on this year's theme: “Research & Development in Traditional Medicine for Quality Health for All in Africa.”

Recognising its role also means having informed conversations about safety, quality, evidence, regulation and communication between traditional and conventional healthcare practitioners.

A stronger healthcare system starts with informed people and meaningful conversations about the different ways communities understand and access care.

How do we build healthier, more resilient healthcare systems for Africa?

This week, health leaders from across the continent are meeting in Addis, Ethiopia, for the 76th WHO Regional Committee for Africa to discuss some of the most pressing challenges facing our health systems — including sustainable healthcare financing, strengthening the health workforce and improving preparedness for health emergencies.

These conversations matter beyond policy. The decisions made today can shape access to care, affordability, quality and health outcomes for millions of people across Africa.

At Cedar Healthcare, we believe informed healthcare decisions begin with understanding the bigger picture.
