Bustling Ask-an-Expert forums featuring over 40 experts and some brilliant interactive tools provide a dynamic user experience.

THE HEALTH24 COMMUNITY

Health24 is intended for a general audience. Each month, around a million individual people visit Health24.

In addition to its own audience, Health24 is the health partner to the following major SA portals: 24.com, News24, MWEB and Webmail. The result is that the majority of online South Africans use Health24 as their destination for health information.
Nearly three-quarters of Health24's community is in the 25-49 year age group, and 70% are women. Just over half are parents, and they fall into the LSM 7-10 group.
A user survey in 2006 indicated that 77% of Health24 readers consult the internet before visiting a health professional.
