Mind over (the COVID-19) matter
2020 was nothing short of the extraordinary, with some of the changes required to adapt to the local (and global) COVID-19 pandemic being what some would refer to as “extra” and some just “ordinary”.
Partners for Possibility projects completed
Though the official year had come to an end, a few Partners for Possibly (PfP) projects for 2020 were placed on hold due to strict lockdown. Talent Manager Michelle Ward oversaw the completion of these projects at the end of 2020, ensuring that Bestmed’s PfP partner Mamelodi East Prevocational School has optimally functioning classrooms, as well as a multipurpose sports field.
Prevent tuberculosis (TB)
What is tuberculosis?
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious lung disease. Although bacteria (not a virus) causes TB, the infection spreads in the same way as COVID-19 – from one person to another through tiny droplets released from the nose or mouth into the air. It’s the leading cause of death in South Africa and one of the top ten causes of death worldwide.
Are you using your preventative benefits?
Medical research keeps progressing and improving and as a result, the general population life expectancy continues to grow. The advent of vaccines and early detection procedures has irradicated some deadly diseases, increasing the average person’s lifespan, and reduced the likelihood of developing often fatal illnesses. And, as a Bestmed member, you have access to an array of preventative care benefits that vary depending on your benefit option.
