A
fter years of hearing members complain about the high
costs of medical expenses in Trinidad and Tobago,
the management of TTARP met with the management
of HealthNet (Lab Medica Group of Companies) and an
agreement was reached to offer TTARP members preferred
member rates in the MY SENIOR CARD programme.
The Lab Medica Group of Companies offer services such
as Occupational health services (OSH Medicals, Fitness
medical, Annual medicals etc), Primary Care and Specialist
Medical Consultations, Laboratory & Substance Abuse

As a major provider of healthcare in Trinidad and Tobago,
Lab Medica-Health Net endeavors to make a strong input in
the detection and reduction of non-communicable diseases
(NCD’s) in our population. Trinidad and Tobago ranks
very high in the incidence of NCD’s and the complications
of NCD’s (Blindness, Cardiovascular Disease, Stroke,
Amputations, etc). An average or 65% of deaths in the
country is caused by non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
The impact of NCDs on the patient, their families, and the
social & economic conditions is burdensome which includes
high Insurance Claims and Payouts.

preventative health care, MY SENIOR CARD offers
affordable medical care at reputable medical institutions so
that persons would be encouraged to be more pro-active and
take care of their health.
