# A study has found only six-percent of Road Accident Fund payouts goes towards medical care, compared with 53-percent for loss of income. The research, presented at the Actuarial Society of South Africa’s convention, suggests earlier medical treatment could reduce long-term compensation costs. The study also highlights the RAF’s 439.5-billion-rand in net liabilities and an 82-percent decline in claims finalised between 2020 and 2024, raising concerns about its financial sustainability.
