Ntuane Calls For Statutory Medical Aid

Speaking at the official opening of the Botswana Medical Aid Society (Bomaid) branch in Francistown last Thursday, Ntuane said there had to be a complete paradigm shift in the way medical aid schemes operate.

"Why not enact reforms such as amending the Employment Act to compel employers to provide medical insurance for all employees? The provision would be consistent with others such as pensions, severance and gratuity schemes," he suggested.
