We all have a risk of getting sick or injured. However, the charges of private hospitals are high and would be a great burden for patients. How can we alleviate the burden of medical expenses when we are in need?
You may consider applying for a Voluntary Health Insurance Scheme (VHIS) for yourself or your family member, transferring the burden of medical expenses to insurance companies. Under VHIS, clients’ medical expenses would be reimbursed to the actual expenses at the hospital. Therefore clients may share the medical expenses caused by illness and injury with the insurance company. This would reduce the pressure of paying expensive medical fees at private hospitals when patients are in need.
