Itekanele Health Scheme, Botswana

Dumelang and welcome to Itekanele Health!

 

We are a medical aid that is geared at providing affordable health cover for all, through partnerships with Health Professionals across Botswana. We view quality healthcare as a fundamental right that must be enjoyed by all people regardless of their socio-economic status. That is why at Itekanele we are driving down the cost of medical care to cover families all over Botswana.

 

Itekanele started operations in November 2005 with only one office in Gaborone and a network of Health Professionals across the country. The company has grown tremendously and today boasts of 6 offices located strategically across the country. We have offices in Gaborone, Francistown, Maun, Selebi- Phikwe, Palapye and Tsabong.

 

We also have our Head Office in Gaborone International Finance Park.

 

Itekanele Health Scheme is a medical aid for low-income earners and it covers all members of the society including the unemployed, pensioners and students. We believe that if attention is given to out of hospital patient care, by wellness programmes largely through lifestyle modification and primary preventive care, will drive health care costs down. The scheme employs a preventative rather than curative approach to health cover.

 

For an affordable monthly premium members will have access to Medical Professionals anytime of the day at a preferred clinic by the scheme. The scheme works with a wide network of private practitioners, hospitals and government structures for quality service provision.

Family Health Cover

Regardless of how low your salary is, your health can be secured. With premiums as low as P115. 00 per month, everyone can afford to be well.

 

A spouse and all dependants less than 21 years of age are covered for as low as P60.00 per month.

 

We have no limitations whatsoever. Extended family members can also be covered if you so wish because they too, deserve to be well and Itekanele is the only scheme that gives you a chance to provide your loved ones with medical cover, at very low premiums.

 

Corporate Social Responsibility

As a company, it is our responsibility to execute our social corporate responsibility to the community we live in. Our main issue is to change people’s lives for the better. Going on sponsorships with different bodies, was to be of assistance to them, to develop and grow them, and eventually see them progressing in each endeavour they undertake.
