About MPS

MPS is South Africa’s leading indemnifier of healthcare professionals.

As a not-for-profit mutual organisation, MPS offers support to members with legal and ethical problems that arise from their professional practice. 
 
MPS membership offers peace of mind to more than 29,000 healthcare professionals in South Africa and over 270,000 members worldwide.

About MPS

We can help you even in unusual situations.

Members commonly seek help with clinical negligence claims, complaints, HPCSA inquiries, legal and ethical dilemmas, disciplinary procedures and inquests.
 
They have access to expert advice from a team of medicolegal consultants based in South Africa and, where appropriate, compensation for patients who have been harmed.

About MPS

Fairness is at the heart of how we conduct our business.

We actively protect and promote the interests of members and the wider profession. We believe that patients who have suffered harm from negligent treatment should receive fair compensation.
 
We promote safer practice by running risk management and education programmes to reduce avoidable harm.

About MPS

MPS is not an insurance company.

The benefits of membership are discretionary - this allows us the flexibility to provide help and support even in unusual circumstances.
