Discovery is a proudly South African-founded financial services organization that operates in the healthcare, life insurance, short-term insurance, long-term savings, banking, and wellness markets.
Since its inception in 1992, Discovery has been guided by a clear core purpose – to make people healthier and to enhance and protect their lives. We have done this by pioneering the Shared-value Insurance model, which delivers better health and value for clients, superior actuarial dynamics for the insurer, and a healthier society. The success of the model in the markets where we operate has been a testament to its importance to society.
Our Shared-value Insurance model
To make people healthier and enhance and protect their lives, we must look at what compromises their health, wealth, and safety, and the context we operate in. Our Shared-value Insurance model delivers better health and value for clients, superior actuarial dynamics for the insurer, and a healthier society. Key to delivering on our model is a deep understanding of the reasons for the shift in the nature of risk.
