The Medical Aid Society of Malawi (MASM) was born out of a health insurance organisation from Zimbabwe called CIMAS in 1983. MASM was set up to provide an all-inclusive medical cover (health insurance) to Malawian citizens and other residents of the country at cost effective rates. MASM is registered under the Trustees Incorporation Act of Malawi as a not for profit organization and is owned and run by its members through a secretariat headed by a CEO, which is then guided, by a board of trustees.
In the early nineties and having gone through troubled times to the brink of collapse, the Trustees requested the National Insurance Company (NICO) to take over the day to day running of the affairs of the Society under a Management Agreement until 1999.
Since then, MASM has now grown to become a household name and reached heights only imagined then. Amongst many achievements, today MASM leads the healthcare industry in the sector of health insurance in Malawi otherwise known as medical aid. MASM has grown to become the largest and most secure provider of medical aid in Malawi, holding more than 80% of the private health insurance market.
It has grown in the past six years from covering some 18,000 to a book of over 120,000 lives spread throughout the country. This excellent rate of growth has come about through its quest to provide high quality healthcare solutions to its members at affordable rates at all times as enshrined in its Mission Statement. MASM’s vision is to be the ultimate healthcare solution at affordable and cost effective rates.
