Ministry Identifies Anomalies in Free Medical Scheme

The Ministry of Finance has revealed that while the Public-Private Partnership for the Free Medical Scheme has been successful, with most General Practitioners being paid in a timely manner, some GPs have been identified as overcharging and abusing the system.

The Public-Private Partnership for the Free Medical Scheme was introduced as part of the Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has continued to date, with 49 General Practitioners, Dental Practitioners, and Medical Laboratories, and 64 branches across the country participating in the scheme.

In cases of suspected abuse, payments are held back until claims are reconciled, ensuring the integrity of the system.
