Welfare fund to get RM20m more
THE Government has approved an additional RM20mil – over the earlier RM5mil – to help chronic patients.
The extra allocation would also be used to set up a one-stop centre to help patients in need of aid to apply from the National Health Welfare Fund, reported Utusan Malaysia.
Health Minister Datuk Chua Jui Meng said the centre would help to speed up the application process and reduce red tape, as applicants no longer required approvals from various departments. It would be located at the ground floor of the ministry’s Block C in Jalan Cenderasari, Kuala Lumpur.
