Govt yet to decide on health protection model for B40 group (Updated)


KUALA LUMPUR: The government has not decided whether the health protection plan for the B40 low-income group comes under the social health insurance (SHI), voluntary health insurance (VHI) or other framework, says Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad.

The Health Minister said currently, the scheme that the Government was planning to launch as per Pakatan Harapan’s 14th general election manifesto, was not an insurance scheme but a health protection scheme for B40 that is fully financed by the Government.
