THE EIGHTY-EIGHTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE MEMBERS WILL BE HELD AT THE FAIRWAY HOTEL & SPA, SETPERK STREET, RANDPARK, RANDBURG AS WELL AS ONLINE ON THURSDAY, 27 JUNE 2024 AT 13:00.

We are once again offering members the choice between attending the AGM in person or online, to make the AGM proceedings accessible to as many Fedhealth members as possible. While the Scheme will do its utmost to ensure that the online meeting is not disrupted due to loadshedding, the meeting may still be impacted by factors beyond Fedhealth’s control. Please also bear in mind that you might experience loss of connectivity on your side due to loadshedding.

All members are welcome to attend the in-person meeting at Fairway Hotel & Spa, Setperk Street, Randpark, Randburg.
