Introduction of Malaysia Health Insurance
Malaysia Health Insurance is provided by the National Insurance Association of Malaysia (NIA) and Caring for Health Organization (CHO) and all insured persons will automatically become members of CHO. All participants will be provided with a "medical insurance card" by the Health Care Organization, which will allow them to receive preferential treatment from admission to discharge in the event of an accident or hospitalization due to illness. Within a certain limit, the participant does not need to pay anything in cash and can be admitted to the hospital immediately with the card. If the cost exceeds the limit, the participant only needs to pay the excess cost
