SAMA - Benevolent fund

The Benevolent Fund

The Benevolent Fund assists destitute doctors and the families of these doctors, financially. Currently 31 families receive support from the Benevolent Fund. This worthy cause annually pays out more than a million rand in grants to beneficiaries. Examples where the Benevolent Fund assisted:

The Fund assisted a family where the doctor was tragically killed and his wife had no immediate means to support herself or their small children
The Fund assists the mentally disabled child of a late doctor
The Fund assists a doctor who sustained brain damage after an accident
The Fund assists a family where the doctor practised in a rural community (mostly pro-bono), when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, his family discovered that his estate was bankrupt.

The continued existence of the fund is dependent on your donations. We appeal to each doctor in South Africa to contribute to this worthy cause.
