BestMed is one of the top healthcare providers in South Africa with over 50 years of experience and is still setting the pace amongst medical aid schemes with respect to healthcare standards. Currently ranked fifth in the industry, BestMed continue providing their members with the same excellent service and outstanding client care they have grown accustomed to. When compared to other medical schemes BestMed offers better value for money. Being self-administered, BestMed has more freedom to negotiate for better benefits and services for all our members and constantly strive to exceed expectations. This can only be done by implementing our core values, compassion, loyalty, care, warmth and accountability. As a non-profit scheme, we believe in putting members before profit. It is our small way of giving something back to the community.
PAUL ROOS | BESTMED XCO INTER-SCHOOLS INVITATIONAL RACE 2017
Paul Roos Gymnasium promotes the sport of Mountain Biking to its learners by appreciating our natural beauty by means of healthy exercise, determined competition and the building character and relationships.
This is our way to express the above in a fun junior fun ride and to bring this mentioned characteristic together. The choice of track options would underline the emphasis of the event – to enhance the competitive environment of juniors, and to test them to true international standards. Cycling is an individual, professional or family sport and Bestmed believes in encouraging all people to be more active and enjoy what cycling has to offer. Our sponsorship of such a race is one way in which we hope to make a big difference in opening up the sport to enthusiasts of every level.
