Public Interest

The Public Interest function of the Actuarial Society of South Africa initiates and funds research that has the potential to influence public policy. Non-communicable diseases have increasingly been responsible for a larger share of healthcare costs in the private health sector and public health sector. However, the general prevalence had not been quantified and this made it almost impossible to project the impact of NCDs on healthcare costs in South Africa. This research work done by Percept will help to enhance the understanding and management of NCDs in South Africa and ASSA is honoured to be part of this initiative.
