Why do young people need medical attention?

According to the latest SA Health Review, the public health system needs to be strengthened in a variety of ways to meet the unique needs of young people. It includes identifying and monitoring health coverage applicants and monitoring the quality of services that young people receive from health care facilities. To achieve this, we need to build the capacity of health professionals, provide suitable services for young people, and provide affordable health services.

Although young people make up one-third of the country’s population, health services are often not tailored to their needs. It’s a problem. When young people are unhealthy, they are less productive and reduce productivity and hurt the economy. Protecting our country’s youth contributes positively to GDP – it is a health resource. This Youth Day 2022 Medshield Medical Scheme encourages young people to stay safe and active. Affordable medical coverage is especially accessible and tailored to their needs.

Why get medical coverage?

Diagnosis and anticipation of risk factors can avoid long-term health consequences in adulthood. Early intervention is a measure to prevent and promote healthy behaviors such as contraception and use, which reduces pain and death among young people.

Unfortunately, young people think that they are too young to get medical help, or that those who have medical care may not know what to cover. Things can change in the blink of an eye, and a person may not have the money to cover the cost. In addition, young people may not feel well at any time of the month, so they avoid consulting the doctor in time for counseling. It raises the window of infection and often leads to serious problems when you visit a doctor only after symptoms appear.

With that in mind, we look at the financial realities of healthy young adults who can start earning at an early stage in the world of work. MediCurve is a first-of-its-kind MedsCeldve plan that allows medical buyers to get the most out of their daily lives without any financial problems. The minimum price tag of R1,485 is reasonable for any young person starting in adulthood.

It’s all digital!

Life in the digital age is incredibly fast, especially for young professionals who are surprisingly busy and in a hurry – to take on responsibilities and to plan for the future, to get jobs done and more. Medshield wanted young adults to access their health services quickly, easily and, most importantly, to create a seamless online enrollment process without the hassle of busy days.

Don’t wait too long to get coverage

Covering before the age of 35 is important to avoid late admission fees and gives you the freedom to consult your doctor at any time before any health problems occur. In addition, it is easier to get coverage if you are relatively healthy – most are young – but if you are not healthy in the past, there may be waiting times and exclusions.

Do not wait until you are in an emergency or want to start or expand your family. Membership in medical care is especially important in South Africa. Medshield encourages all young people to explore different plans. Investing in your health is investing in your future!
