2024 ALLIANCE PLUS & ALLIANCE NETWORK 23 What is the difference between a Disease Management Programme and a Wellness Programme? Disease Management Programmes are designed to manage specific life threatening chronic diseases such as Diabetes, HIV/AIDS and Hypertension. They assist the member to improve control of the condition and to prevent the progression of the disease or complications. Wellness programmes are designed to keep members healthy, whether they have a medical condition or not. What Disease Management Programmes are offered as a benefit by CAMAF? 1.
