Sechaba Medical Solutions (SMS) was formed in 1978 to provide healthcare solutions to black members who were not adequately provided for under the laws of the day. It has since grown to embrace all South Africans and has positioned itself as one of the best medical aid administrators in terms of IT systems, service and empowerment in South Africa today. Its strong empowerment history gives Sechaba the edge as it understands the healthcare needs across South Africa's racial and cultural diversity. Its IT and service strengths have ensured its flexibility to adapt to the demanding legislative healthcare requirements that have evolved with time. This powerful combination ensures that Sechaba Medical Solutions is well placed as a key player in the current healthcare environment.
