In this episode of Business Talk, Michael Avery is joined by Kevin Aron, Principal Officer at Medshield Medical Scheme, to reflect on how the 58-year-old scheme has strengthened its position in a challenging healthcare landscape. Kevin explains how strong governance, disciplined oversight, and a clear separation of board and executive roles have led to high solvency levels, robust reserves, and an upgraded credit rating. He also highlights how these fundamentals translate into practical member value, especially when Medshield covers major medical events that can run into millions of rand.
The conversation explores Medshield’s focus on being a true “partner for life” through transparent benefit design, improved day-to-day cover, and enhanced service delivery. Kevin discusses how the scheme balances affordability with rising healthcare costs, the importance of attracting younger, healthier members, and why corporate market growth is a key strategic priority. He also shares insights into the decision not to proceed with the Fedhealth amalgamation and outlines the biggest challenges and opportunities facing medical schemes as South Africa heads into 2026.
