Discovery Personal Health Programme – The programmes

If you are someone suffering from diabetes or a heart condition, you will find two great Personal Health Programmes. One of the programmes is the Healthy Heart programme. This is a 48-week programme. The 48 weeks divide into 4 x 12 programmes with start and end dates for you to manage.

The other programme is called Manage Diabetes. This too, is a 48 week programme, also broken up in 4 x 12 week programmes with start and end dates. Joining these programmes will enable you to get access to regular screenings that will be required, plus check-ups, reminders, tips, etc. You will be able to see a biokineticist 3 times to follow a fitness schedule. You will also be able to see a dietician 3 times to get tips on healthier eating habits.

Clinical support as well as health care professional intervention will be available. That will ensure effectively monitoring and control for improved health. The programmes are certified by Discovery in-house medical experts.

If you are not Discovery Vitality member, you can only join these programmes through your Premier Practice GP.
