KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 4 — Malaysia is one of the countries in the world that provides free health services to the people and this is something to be proud of, said Deputy Finance Minister I, Datuk Abd Rahim Bakri.“So far, the government has not planned to implement the National Health Insurance scheme for all citizens,” he told the Dewan Rakyat today.

However, Abd Rahim said so far the government has also introduced several new initiatives to improve the people’s health benefits, such as the MySalam scheme which provides takaful protection to Bantuan Sara Hidup recipients aged 18-65 years to cover 45 critical illnesses. In addition, MySalam coverage also includes hospitalisation benefit of RM50.00 per day for a period of 14 days with a maximum amount of RM 700.00 in a government, military or university hospital, including for Covid-19 treatment.
