Gildelede het die geleentheid om kollektief by die behoud, uitbouing en volhoubaarheid van hul betrokke beroep betrokke te raak. Gemeenskaplike waardes gee aan elke gildelid iets om in te glo, asook 'n platform om terug te ploeg en kennis te deel deur netwerkgeleenthede, werkskepping of mentorskapprogramme.
Die Beroepsgilde vir Gesondheidspraktisyns het spesifiek “die skepping van ’n veilige omgewing waar gesondheidspraktisyns volhoubaar gesondheidsorg in terme van ’n billike befondsingsisteem kan lewer” ten doel.
As Gildelid is jy deel van Solidariteit en kwalifiseer jy dus vir alle vakbondvoordele wat ons bied.
*Bepalings en voorwaardes geld
Bykomende voordele wat praktisyns binne die gilde geniet:
Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering (NGV)
Staatsgereguleerde Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering (NGV) beteken dat gesondheidsorg in Suid-Afrika genasionaliseer word binne-in die grootste staatsinstelling in Suid-Afrika se geskiedenis. Boonop gaan 'n baie klein minderheid vir álmal moet betaal. Suid-Afrikaners moet self kan besluit wie hulle met hul gesondheid wil vertrou.
Krisiberaad
Gesondheidsorg raak elkeen van ons en ons kan nie nou bloot terugstaan en wag om te sien wat die uitkoms van die Wetsontwerp op Nasionale Gesondheidsversekering (NVG) gaan wees nie. Dié wetsontwerp is onlangs gepubliseer en soos wat dit tans lees, kan dit verreikende gevolge vir elke mens in die land inhou.
Die Solidariteit Beroepsgilde vir Gesondheidspraktisyns hou ’n krisisberaad om die implikasies van die voorgestelde NGV-wetsontwerp te bespreek. Die beraad sal die impak van die wetsontwerp op spesialiste, algemene praktisyns en die ekonomie onder die loep neem en die implikasies wat daaraan verbonde is, gaan ook bespreek word. Die doel van die beraad is om ’n gekombineerde insetdokument saam te stel wat in September as amptelike kommentaar op die wetsontwerp ingedien sal word.
