Born out of a collective of professionals from the health funding industry who recognised the need for a collective voice, the Health Funders Association was formed to be the platform for engagement and innovation in the interest of the health funding industry.
Established in 2015, the Health Funders Association (HFA) is a non-profit organisation representing stakeholders involved in the funding of private healthcare in South Africa.
Maintaining a robust and viable private healthcare industry is an integral focus of the Health Funders Association.
To this end, the HFA is committed to:
The HFA represents some of the country’s most prominent medical schemes, representing approximately 73% of open schemes and 50% of total membership. Through its membership of three of the largest medical scheme administrators HFA represents 3.8 million lives and 17 medical schemes.
The HFA aspires to be the recognised and credible representative organisation that speaks on behalf of medical schemes, administrators and managed care organisations involved in the private healthcare funding sector.
