KUALA LUMPUR: A silent health crisis is plaguing the country – almost 70% of participants in last year’s free health screening under the Health Care Scheme for the B40 group (Peka B40) were found to have at least one non-communicable disease (NCD).
Head of Benefit Package and Pricing, Strategic Purchasing Department at ProtectHealth Corporation, Dr Yussni Aris @ Haris, said that last year a total of 301,650 individuals were screened through Peka B40.
