Cimas, formerly Commercial and Industrial Medical Aid Society was founded in 1945. It began as a non-profit mutual society for private-sector employees only. It later evolved to encompass everyone who required their services. In 2021, the company was reorganised into a new holding company, Cimas Health Group Limited, which is owned by Cimas Medical Aid Society.

Cimas goes beyond medical aid. It is Zimbabwe’s leading health and wellness provider, serving 230,000+ members also serve thousands of non-members. Besides medical aid, Cimas offers preventive care, and lifestyle programmes eg, Pedal to Wellness. Subsidiaries include Cimas Pharmacies and Dialysis Centre. Trusted for reliability, it prioritises community health, not for profit making.
