PPS Health Professions Indemnity was developed in response to the challenges South African health professionals face, from the aggressive
litigation landscape to rising professional indemnity costs. In designing this solution, we chose to partner with ProAssurance Corporation, one of America’s leading experts in medical professions indemnity, with a reputation built in the most litigious nation in the world.
PPS Health Professions Indemnity is founded on three principles:
1.Financial Security
2.Sustainable Quality Indemnity
3.Active Engagement
PPS is well-known to health professionals, with approximately 150 000 existing members
With mutuality, all profits and investment returns generated by the PPS Group are allocated to PPS members with qualifying products
This can be seen in the strength of the PPS Group balance sheet and involvement of global strategic partners
