Medical aid schemes have committed unfair racial discrimination – report

Everything, according to an interim report by a Section 59 investigation panel released on Tuesday.
Two of the country’s largest medical schemes, Discovery and the Government Employees Medical Scheme (GEMS) and Medscheme, one of the largest medical aid scheme administrators in the land were found to have engaged in the unfair racial discrimination against black, Indian and coloured doctors and health practitioners.
