THE Madani Medical Scheme has provided over one million free treatments for minor ailments at private clinics since it was introduced on June 15, Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad said.
He said 1,005,645 minor treatments were given to 785,623 patients at 2,506 private clinics at a cost of RM62.5 million.
“The government has shown continuous commitment to this scheme by providing an allocation of RM100 million under Budget 2024 so the scheme can continue next year.
“The Health Ministry and ProtectHealth will continue to shore up the work process to raise the involvement of private clinics to allow lower-income groups greater access to quality healthcare services,” he said in a statement today.
The Madani Medical Scheme is a government initiative to cover the medical needs of the B40 group, and is offered automatically to Rahmah Cash Aid recipients for the treatment of minor ailments at private clinics.
Eligibility checks for the scheme can be made at the ProtectHealth website and on the Madani Medical Scheme and MySejahtera apps. – Bernama, December 15, 2023.
