Medicare 24 HIV management is comprised of four phases; namely: education and awareness, establishment of an HIV committee, free voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) and positive living program.
Wellness for life
VCT (Voluntary Counselling and Testing for HIV) encompasses testing people for HIV in order to establish the actual infection rate within South Africa, for the purpose of business projecting production levels and income for the future. Occupational Health entails the screening of the employee based on standards and specifications outlined in the OHS Act of South Africa.
The main purpose of Occupational Health is the identification of underlying health problems, together with the identification of health problems that develop as a result of the employee conducting his/her normal duties. This service includes employee medicals and Occupational Health Training.
