What you need to know:
The sector has a total of 1.95 million members, according to 2014 financial reports. This figure includes members of the National Health Insurance Fund. With the reforms in the social security system, we have widened the scope and opportunities for members to join the schemes. Section 30 of the SSRA Act No.8 of 2008 (as amended) provides an adequate room for extension of social security and that is why the number of members has increased from 930,000 in 2010 to 1.95 million in 2014.
