Sizwe’s Mission and Vision

Established by a group of black doctors in 1978, the Sizwe Medical Fund was led by Dr Nthato Motlana who was both a business man and a political stalwart. The scheme was founded in order to provide comprehensive health care to the thousands of South Africans that had been marginalised due to political ideologies.

In a sense the scheme was founded for the people by the people. Since our democracy in 1994 the scheme has continued to grow with the people of South Africa providing them with affordable comprehensive healthcare every step of the way. It is the vision of Sizwe to provide healthcare to a united rainbow nation, free of marginalisation, political ideologies and financial status.
