National Health Financing Scheme (NHFS)
How much do you guys/gals know about this NHFS thingy which suppose to take over the current health financing scheme (which is just minimal token fees in the government clinics/hospitals for all Malaysian) from year 2006? A major change which will affact almost all Malaysian.Untill now, Sept. 2005, we are all still in the dark. There are a few articles regarding this which may shown some light: bring to you by The Star, by Aliran I, II and Citizens' Health Initiative.
The Coalition Against Health Care Privatisation (Gabungan Membantah Pengswastaan Perkhidmatan Kesihatan or GMPPK), A coalition form by 81 NGOs, trade unions and political parties to oppose further privatisation of the health care system and to insist on democratic accountabilty from the government on whatever new health care system that it plans to introduce. The coalition has set up an online petition to the Prime Minister urging him to make no further move towards the implementation of a compulsory health insurance scheme until there has been a full explanation of the details to the people and an open discussion with all interested groups.
Take a look at the petition by clicking here. Please endorse it if you agree with it. Try to let as many caring Malaysian know about this petition as you can.
Cheers and God bless.
