Moh Plans To Include Housewifes In The Category Of Retirees On Health Insurance Scheme
Assistant Undersecretary for Legal Affairs at the Ministry of Health Dr Mahmoud Abdulhadi said the ministry is conducting feasibility study to include housewives in the category of retirees on the health insurance scheme, āAfiaā. The ministry has already proposed applying the health insurance scheme on retirees in the first phase before it is generalized on all citizens in batches and segments.
In a statement, Dr Abdulhadi added the ministry started notifying concerned authorities to determine the number of retirees and the total cost of implementing the project after inclusion of the segment, noting the study might take at least one year to complete.
As regards the latest development on Afia project, Dr Abdulhadi said beneficiaries of the project have reached 93,000 and the ministry has only received 10 complaints since the introduction of the scheme about two and half months ago. He noted the complaints are related to the addition of new services within the scope of coverage and have nothing to do with the standard of service
