Doctor in the House: B40 Insurance & Health Screenings for Politicians

Dr George Lee returns to discuss the latest medical news. Expect deep insights delivered with generous humour. Joining him this week is Dr Helmy Haja Mydin as they dissect two recent announcements from the Health Ministry. They hear from Malaysia Medical Association President Dr Mohamed Namazie Ibrahim that the upcoming tabling of an insurance protection scheme for the B40 did not include consultations with the association, but before that, they scrutinise the Health Minister’s proposal for election candidates to undergo mandatory health screenings.
