What role does Simeka Health play, and are they a medical aid option/scheme?

Rhodes University has appointed Simeka Health Consultants  to assist international students with all queries relating to appropriate medical cover and membership renewal. Simeka Health is an independent service that is also currently appointed by 10 other Tertiary institutions in the country. 

This means that Simeka Health is not a medical aid option or scheme, but the intermediary between the scheme (to ensure it adheres to the above mentioned criteria and service levels) and the member (to make sure any problems or questions the member/student has can be resolved within the rules of the specific medical aid).  

Simkea Health advises the university with regard to which SA products are acceptable and currently adhering to the requirements as set out in point 4.
