Since 2004, CareWorks has provided healthcare services to companies and their employees, members of medical schemes, bargaining councils, life assurers & retirement funds as well as community members. Initially focused only on HIV, its services now include comprehensive chronic disease management, onsite health risk assessments and screening, as well as training. CareWorks has a national footprint of dedicated staff and contracted providers to meet healthcare needs throughout the country.
According to a Statistics South Africa 2015 report, the top 5 leading causes of natural death in South Africa are TB, Diabetes, Cardiovascular diseases, other Heart disease and HIV. Whilst South Africa is still in the grips of an HIV pandemic, it also recognise the threat posed by chronic diseases such as Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes to businesses, communities and individuals. Therefore, CareWorks has adapted its successful approach in managing HIV and applied it to the management and prevention of all Chronic Conditions.
Its success lies in simple approaches such as ensuring regular communication, support, reminders and education to achieve high levels of behaviour change and compliance. With its skill-sets, passionate staff, national footprint and experience, it provides high-quality, focused services that consistently achieve impact and return on investment for all stakeholders.
