Resolution Health invests in children
Corporate Social Investment
Resolution Health Medical Scheme has
chosen to dedicate its first Corporate Social Investment initiative
to children.
“We decided to initially focus on
children as they are among the most vulnerable people in our society
and particularly in need of medical services in times of
emergencies,” said Jannie Kotze, Resolution Health’s CEO.

scheme’s first Corporate Social Investment initiative.
Through the initiative, boys and girls
at two children’s homes in northern Johannesburg will be covered by
Resolution Health for hospitalization and evacuation to hospital.
Two of the children reside at the Martha Street home in
Fontainebleau (part of the Abraham Kriel children’s home network)
and 17 stay at the Salvation Army’s Firlands home in Linden.

911 is also involved in the initiative – it will take the children
to hospital when necessary and has also developed a database of the
children’s medical profiles and biographical details for swift
access when needed. Each child has a velcro bracelet with a unique
number which links up with their details on the computerised
database.
“It is a privilege for us as a company
to be able to make a meaningful contribution to assisting the less
fortunate in our society,” said Hanneli Slabber, Resolution Health’s
Customer Relationship Manager.
Resolution Health is one of South
Africa’s fastest growing medical schemes with more than 42,000
principal members and over 100,000 beneficiaries.
