As South Africans we have proven time and again in the past what we can achieve when we work together. As the majority of our fellow South Africans are poor and over indebted, many of them may not be able to afford the Eyerus monthly premiums. This means the majority may be excluded from gaining full access to this life-saving technology.
However, if we work together as individuals, private sector entities as well as government, we can find creative ways of getting Eyerus in the hands of everyone, particularly the vulnerable members of our society. Eyerus is for everyone, not just for those who can afford it.
Creative suggestions
Adopt a charity and sponsor their members.
Have Eyerus subscriptions as part of CSI programs or Employee benefit programs.
Some industries, such as insurance, could include Eyerus costs to clients’ premiums.
Offer discounts to clients who are subscribers to Eyerus.
Government departments can identify and sponsor deserving groups and individuals according to their own criteria..
