The Oyi Medical Card is a savings card that can solely be used for clinical prices and is supported through impervious payments technology. Holders use this card to save for scientific expenses.

It also encourages a lifestyle of saving and accountable financial practices. Unlike scientific resource schemes or health insurance, the cardholder can use it to pay for medical offerings for any household member or dependent”.

Ngalo spent most of his childhood traveling nation hospitals in the former homelands of South Africa and after experiencing the public fitness gadget in the UK and spending a few years working in IT at a bank, Ngalo determined to launch a clinical card that enables less costly get admission to to satisfactory healthcare.
