"The government has shown continuous commitment to this scheme by providing an allocation of RM100mil under the Budget 2024 so that it can continue next year.

"The Health Ministry and ProtectHealth will continue to shore up the work process in raising the involvement of private clinics around the country to allow lower income groups greater access to quality healthcare services,” he said in a statement on Thursday (Dec 14).

The Madani Medical Scheme is an initiative by the government through the Health Ministry to cover the medical needs of the B40 group, and is offered automatically to Rahmah Cash Aid recipients by covering the cost of treatment for minor ailments at nearby private clinics.

Eligibility checks for the scheme can be made at the ProtectHealth website at www.protecthealth.com.my, the Madani Medical Scheme and MySejahtera apps. - Bernama
