Health Ministry studying proposed 1 Care scheme link with EPF
KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry is looking into aligning its proposed ‘1 Care for 1Malaysia’ health financing scheme with the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) which recently permitted withdrawals for more critical illnesses.
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican said the ministry had held a briefing session with EPF on the 1Care scheme and more consultations would follow.
“It is envisaged that once implemented, efforts by the EPF to provide funding for health services will also align to the 1Care policy,” he told Bernama.
The EPF announced this week that it had expanded the scope of withdrawals for critical illnesses from 13 to 36, and also for treatment of family members under the age of 16 for severe asthma, leukaemia and intellectual impairment caused by sickness or accidents.
Dr Mohd Ismail said the EPF move was “a useful interim measure” to give the public more choice to seek treatment, particularly in the private sector, and to cover more catastrophic illnesses.
“The ministry understands EPF savings and medical savings will be inadequate to provide the needed risk protection against large financial shocks when faced with catastrophic illnesses,” he said.
In the light of the rising cost of health care, he said the ministry was taking steps to work together with private health providers to look at medical charges in the country.
Dr Mohd Ismail added that the ministry and the government were in the process of developing a comprehensive plan for health system transformation which would upgrade the health care system to meet the needs of the population, now and in the future, as Malaysia moved to become a high income nation.
He said 1 Care, which was still under discussion, would be an integrated public-private sector health care system, starting at the primary level.
It would also address the efficiency of resource use and payment mechanisms to health providers.
Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said last month that the ministry and the Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) would work out the mechanism that would address the distribution of doctors and health clinics in Sabah and Sarawak.
“The 1 Care system can address the shortage of doctors in a lot of areas and improve service,” he had said at a dinner, in conjunction with the MMA’s 50th annual general meeting in Malacca on May 28.

Get EPF info via Facebook or Twitter
KUALA LUMPUR: The public can now obtain the latest information on the Employees Provident Fund through the social network sites Facebook or Twitter.
EPF deputy chief operating officer (finance and customer services) Hizwani Hassan said Facebook could be assessed under Kumpulan Wang Simpanan Pekerja and Twitter KWSP at KWSPBuzz.
He said the usage of social media such as Facebook and Twitter enabled the fund to disseminate the latest information through pictures and video.
“More importantly, it allows the fund to reach out and get closer to its members, especially the Generation Y group and those who depend a lot on mobile gadgets for the latest information,” he said in a statement yesterday.
Hizwani said more than 6,600 people had registered with the social networking tool within a few months after the agency introduced the EPF Facebook.
“When the public registered with Facebook and Twitter KWSP early this year, they were able to obtain information on the announcement of the dividend rate for 2009 at the same time the press editors and reporters got the information through the press release,” he added.
However, he said, the two channels were provided only to relay the latest information on the fund and to get close to its more than 12.3 million members.
“Members are reminded to use the channels already available such as the service counters, call centre at 03-8922 6000 or the website for any query of the fund,” he added
