Healthcare Strategy for AngloGold Ashanti
Challenge
AngloGold Ashanti operates across diverse and often remote locations, where access to quality healthcare for employees can be limited. The company faced the challenge of ensuring consistent, reliable medical services for a large workforce, while also addressing occupational health risks inherent in mining. They needed a healthcare strategy that improved access, supported preventative care, and aligned with both regulatory standards and global best practices.
Our Solution
98 Degrees Group partnered with AngloGold Ashanti to design and implement a comprehensive healthcare strategy that responded to the unique needs of the mining workforce. Key elements included:
Healthcare Systems Review: Analysed existing healthcare delivery and identified gaps in accessibility, infrastructure, and cost-efficiency.
Integrated Care Framework: Developed a blended model of on-site medical facilities, regional healthcare partners, and telemedicine services to create a holistic care network.
Employee Wellness Programmes: Introduced preventative care initiatives, such as health screenings, education campaigns, and wellness activities, aimed at reducing long-term health risks.
Technology-Driven Care: Incorporated TruMD telemedicine services to expand healthcare access beyond physical facilities, enabling employees and their families to receive care anytime, anywhere.
Compliance and Sustainability: Ensured that all programmes met South African mining health regulations while building a scalable model adaptable to future workforce demands.
The Results
Enhanced Accessibility: Employees gained faster and easier access to medical care, regardless of site location.
Improved Workforce Health: Preventative health initiatives reduced the incidence of chronic conditions and work-related health issues.
Operational Efficiency: Reduced absenteeism and improved employee productivity through better health outcomes.
Future-Ready Model: Established a sustainable, technology-enabled healthcare framework capable of evolving with the business.
