Health Insurance for expatriates to become 130 KD by next year

Wednesday, October 19, 2016

Health Insurance Hospitals Company to provide exclusive 'Dhaman' service for expatriates working in the private sector by next year. The implementation of this health insurance for expatriates will lead to increase in health insurance charges from the current cost of KD 50 per year to KD 130. However the cost does not reflect the actual cost of the health services to be offered to expatriates.

The ‘DHAMAN’ project will be carried out in two phases; the first phase will begin during the first quarter of 2017 in primary healthcare centers and the second phase will begin by end of 2019. The total number of expatriates who will benefit from this project will be about 2 million excluding those categorized as housemaids, local media reported quoting Board member and Chief Executive Officer of Health Insurance Hospitals Company Dr Ahmad AlSaleh.

The increase in insurance doest not effect all.

Bye Bye Kuwait

From now on staying in Kuwait only if company will bear the family insurance cost.

Well said. Who wants to pay Kd.130 per person for Panadol, Fludrex, Masri Quack and 3 hours wait.

Actually Egypt Doctors are really useless, they dont even touch for patients,if we have fever they will keep Ice stick, if we have pain they will check with there Pen,but where as my experience Kuwaiti Doctors & Indian Doctors are the best, i will give my example in Farwaniya Hospital 2008 i got some allergy on my hand, the doctor was Egyptian he dint even looked my hand and he was afraid to touch me,but a kuwaiti Doctor really he was like angel who made my hand again in same condition i salute him,if 130 KD insurance then what about our death Insurance if we die here?how much indemnity will be getting?

Haram
Wednesday, October 19, 2016
1st of all that 50KD all the expat are paying at present it is really haram bcoz none of the expat do not get the benefits from it. But it is extra income for Kuwait Govt.

If it is going to increase more than 100% then it will be double haram....hahaha....Hope GOD is watching from above how the justice is done for Expat so that one day GOD could do the Pure justice.

However this way Expat will start leaving Kuwait for sure. There is no more attraction in Kuwait Salary or income.

May GOD guide people how to respect humanity and care for Humanity.

Bad News for Kuwaiti businessmen as it will be indirect taxes. Hope they make it mandatory for sponsors to pay for the medical insurance. Inflation will be on the rise and bad news for illegal free visa expatriates.
Hope all understand
Wednesday, October 19, 2016
Lastly and may be still more to come for this medical insurance to increase..
Frankly for past years i have never entered or seen a govt.clinic nor any hospital over here . Thank God I do all checkup in my hometown when on leave . This 50/- kd was just a force will to pay and now the increase will be signalled the next step act whether to accept or not...

The service provided to expatriates by the doctors in Clinics and small centres is very worse. Usually, the doctor doesn't take more than 30-45 SECONDS for a patient! The doctors don't even have the patience to listen to the patients' symptoms and problems! Of course, the doctors are unduly overloaded. I sincerely hope that concerned authorities look into it in order to provide a reasonably good treatment to expatriates.

WoWwww. Welcome to this decisions for us. but I am disappointed that it should be the same rate of Health Insurance for families also. I am waiting for that upcoming news that they are going to approve this rate to families also.

Thank You and welcome 2017 ...

They should make another reimbersement rule also. Those who didnot take or avail the facility @ once in a whole year should be reimbersed full amount at the end of the period.

130 its too much.

KD 130 + 1 KD each visit = Adol/Panadrex + Misri dactor + 2-3 hrs wait in clinic.

Great move.
