JOHOR BARU: The newly-launched Madani Medical Scheme is expected to help lift some of the burden off the currently stretched public healthcare sector, says Ling Tian Soon.

The Johor health and unity committee chairman said the scheme will allow Rahmah Cash Aid (STR) recipients to receive medical treatment at 33 registered private general practitioners in Johor Baru.
