Rahayu Mahzam on assessing MediFund financial support
There are no stipulations that a patient cannot qualify for MediFund if any family member is already receiving MediFund support, said Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Health Rahayu Mahzam. Replying to an MP’s question in Parliament on Tuesday (Mar 21), she said the Ministry of Health provides operational guidelines to the MediFund committees and MediFund-approved institutions for consistency in their decision-making. The MediFund committees, which have full discretion in assessing the applications, look at the families’ means and ability to pay for the patients’ medical bills holistically, she said.
