Momentum Health says it supports the South African government’s phased approach that will see frontline health workers and high-risk citizens having first access to the vaccine.
To assist in the government’s efforts, the medical aid scheme said that employer groups will have the ability to offer their employees vaccine through its occupational health capabilities and provide the vaccine at the employer.
Momentum said it has an extensive network of occupational health capabilities as well as health insurance solutions for employees uncovered by medical schemes.
“We decided that we need to do even more to assist government’s extensive rollout plans,” said Damian McHugh, executive at Momentum Health Solutions.
