LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The launch of National Healthcare Insurance (NHI) is expected to have a significant impact on South Africa’s healthcare industry, in particular its personal accident and health insurance sector, both directly and indirectly. Although personal accident and health insurance is the smallest segment in the overall South African insurance industry in terms of total written premium, NHI could considerably enlarge this segment. The launch of HIV/AIDS insurance cover by both health and life insurance companies, which was purchased by the country’s formerly uninsured population, is likely to be the main driver for the personal accident and health insurance segment of the overall insurance industry in South Africa.
