KUALA LUMPUR – The B40 group in Terengganu and Kedah including Rahmah Cash Aid recipients can now get treatment at registered private clinics through the Madani Medical Scheme which has now entered Phase 2.
The initiative introduced by the government during the tabling of Budget 2023 is intended, among other things, to overcome the issue of overcrowdedness at government hospitals.
The implementation of Phase 2 in the two states began this week, involving Kuala Terengganu and Kuala Nerus in Terengganu as well as Kota Setar and Kuala Muda in Kedah.
The Madani Medical Scheme allocates RM250 for each household, RM125 for senior citizens (without spouses), and RM75 for single individuals (RM75), where beneficiaries can continue receiving free treatments until the allocation is exhausted.
The implementation of Phase 2 of the Madani Medical Scheme also includes seven other districts beginning the fourth week of August, namely in Perlis, Kota Baru and Pasir Mas (Kelantan), Kuantan (Pahang), Melaka Tengah (Melaka), Seremban (Negri Sembilan), and Seberang Prai Tengah (Penang).
A pilot project of the scheme was previously implemented in 10 districts, namely Johor Baru (Johor), Kuala Lumpur, Klang, Petaling, Hulu Langat and Gombak (Selangor), Kinta (Perak), North East (Penang), Kuching (Sarawak) and Kota Kinabalu (Sabah). – Bernama, August 9, 2023
