Discovery cancelled our medical aid unfairly

@Discovery_SA has declined our medical aid membership despite us disclosing our medical history in writing-twice. i have lodged a formal complaint with discovery well over a week, but i have still not received any written response. in the meantime, my family has been left without cover while we urgently need to proceed with a medical procedure. To make matters even worse during my telephonic conversation with a discovery consultant, trying to understand why we are being cancelled i asked the consultant must i disclose something as small as a headache and she responded "Yes". This highlights how unreasonable and impractical discovery's approach to disclosure has become. it feels like Discovery is using alleged "non-disclosure" as an excuse to avoid funding care we are entitled to. No Family should be placed under this kind of unnecessary stress and trauma when seeking health care.

Today has been 9 days since i sent evidence of my disclosure to discovery. They claimed 5 days to respond since i sent that letter and i have received nothing.
This is not the level of service i expected from discovery at all. I am extremely disappointed. Currently we have no medical cover and discovery just seems to not care about medical cover or customer care.

Hi Discovery Team, i have still not received any feedback. Saying that is escalated and being looked into is not feedback. Please give me proper feedback and a outcome to this unfair cancellation.
