Financial protection

(Financial coverage)

  1. Sehat Sahulat Programme was launched to enable the poor population to utilize health services without further impoverishment due to spending on healthcare.
  2. Since inpatient care is associated with higher spending, with potential to make people poor, these services were covered under the scheme.
  3. The different provincial streams for Sehat Sahulat Programmes have different limits for treating secondary and tertiary care.
  4. The programmes also provide financial assistance in the form of wage loss during treatment, maternity allowance, travel allowance and financial support to a family for funeral if death happens during a hospital admission.
