Why climate change is reshaping health and healthcare funding

JOHANNESBURG - When we consider the threats to our health, we tend to focus on the obvious: chronic illnesses, poor nutrition, or physical inactivity. However, another force is quietly accelerating health risks and driving up medical costs: climate change.

JOHANNESBURG - Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a serious and often long-lasting illness characterised by severe, persistent fatigue that isn't relieved by rest and worsens with physical or mental exertion.

JOHANNESBURG - Your immune system is supposed to protect you from viruses, bacteria, and other harmful invaders. However, when you have an autoimmune disorder, your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells in your body. It can lead to inflammation, pain, and damage to different parts of your body.

Medshield is committed to building a sustainable healthcare future

JOHANNESBURG - Are you curious about what makes businesses stand out in our current environment? It's certainly not about the bottom line and the financials anymore. It's about how they impact the world – the environment, the societies in which they operate, and their governance structures. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles have become indispensable in a world grappling with climate change, social inequalities, and corporate accountability. While sectors like mining, energy, and manufacturing have typically been under the ESG spotlight, healthcare is now stepping into focus.

Why medical schemes must lead the green shift

JOHANNESBURG - When you think about what drives healthcare costs, you might picture hospital stays, chronic illness, or rising treatment expenses. But what if one of the most significant emerging risks to your health – and your medical aid's sustainability – is the environment? From the air we breathe to the waste we generate, environmental conditions shape healthcare outcomes and costs. As pollution increases and climate-linked diseases become more common, environmental health is no longer a parallel concern. It is a healthcare issue and a strategic imperative.

The future of medical schemes depends on technology, trust and transformation 

JOHANNESBURG - In an era where technology advances are transforming every aspect of our lives, accessing information about healthcare should be just as seamless and efficient. The complexities of dealing with a medical scheme can seem daunting, and technology can significantly reduce these complexities and improve access to the right information at the right time - imagine effortlessly managing your healthcare needs online, much like booking travel or managing your finances.

JOHANNESBURG - Menopause is a natural stage in every woman's life, yet it often feels like a mystery or taboo. As women approach their late 40s or early 50s, hormonal changes bring physical and emotional shifts that can impact daily life. Fortunately, understanding these changes and knowing where to find professional support can make a huge difference.

JOHANNESBURG - Taking care of your health before you get sick is an intelligent choice. The saying "prevention is better than cure" reminds us that avoiding illness through healthy habits is much easier and often more effective than treating it after it appears. By identifying potential health issues early, you can prevent complications that require extensive and expensive medical interventions.
