History

Associated Fund Administrators (AFA) was established in 1991 and has since served as a cornerstone of private healthcare funding in Botswana. The company was founded with a philosophy of citizen empowerment and has been instrumental in shaping the country's medical aid and healthcare administration landscape. In its early years, AFA led the establishment of the Pula Medical Aid Fund (Pulamed), which has grown to become the second-largest open medical aid scheme in Botswana, with over 27,000 principal members. The company also played a key role in setting up the Botswana Public Officers Medical Aid Scheme (BPOMAS), which supports public officers and their families. AFA has collaborated with the private sector to pioneer these schemes and has been at the forefront of launching fully funded non-medical aid programmes for antiretroviral therapy, as well as public HIV/AIDS management initiatives. These efforts have helped control the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Botswana over the past three decades. Over the years, AFA has expanded its service offerings to include medical aid fund administration, managed care, contact centre management, pharmacy benefit management, fraud, waste and abuse management, corporate health and wellness, and a find-a-doctor service. The company also developed the AFA Price Look Up platform for medical service providers in Botswana. Today, AFA continues to operate from its headquarters in Gaborone, providing healthcare management programmes and insurance solutions to clients across Botswana. Its brand promise emphasises people, passion, and solutions, reflecting its commitment to client-centric service delivery and adaptability to market changes.
