Update on proposed amalgamation between Bpmas and Momentum Health

As previously communicated, the Society received approval for the amalgamation from the Competition Commission. However, the Board of Trustees are still engaging with the Council for Medical Schemes (CMS) on the proposed amalgamation date, as the CMS declined a 1 August 2019 amalgamation. This process has therefore not yet been concluded.
