🧡 To our municipal heroes: You’ve kept our communities clean, safe, and running all year long. As the festive season approaches, remember to take care of the person who keeps it all going — YOU.

We know this time of year can bring joy, but also stress, loneliness, and sometimes, alcohol misuse. In many of our communities, turning to alcohol feels like a way to unwind or escape.

Our Story

As one of the most affordable medical aid schemes in South Africa catering specifically to local government employees and associated industries, we strive to deliver the best healthcare cover through two different medical aid plans that include essential healthcare benefits at low contributions. The Scheme's underlying principles support the view that all South Africans are entitled to quality healthcare at a fair cost and that society must unite to ensure its adequate funding. As such, SAMWUMED sees itself as more than just a facilitator for healthcare transactions but as a guardian of our members' rights.
