About us

For the past four years Essential Med has researched and developed packages shaped not only to provide service driven healthcare coverage, but also to suit the pocket. With our offering achieving the right mix, and the growing demand for value-for-money private medical health insurance, Essential Med has achieved a strong market presence since its launch in June 2009.

Essential Med has service agreements with leading service providers including Sanlam Developing Markets Limited, CareCross Health and Medical Data Bureau, giving you the assurance that we can deliver what we promise.

Our product offering consists of simple but flexible choices and you can choose a plan that suits you. Each plan offers essential benefits including medication at no additional cost, free GP and dentist consultations, hospital admissions and even death benefits. You also enjoy the added bonus of free additional benefits ranging from emergency medical evacuation to roadside assistance.

Essential Med is an authorised financial service provider (FSB license number 42980).
