This was according to the scheme's Curator Lebogane Mpakati, who said Wednesday that since her appointment, she has been managing the scheme to stabilise operations and to access to healthcare facilities for members.

Service providers have been engaged to resolve issues, following industry concerns and healthcare access restrictions for members in the past few months, due to the scheme's financial position.

"Within a few months after my appointment, the scheme's members are now able to access more healthcare services across most service providers. Most hospital groups have since reopened access to members, supported by more predictable claim payment cycles and strengthened engagements," said Mpakati.
