At the same time, Murkomen assured officers that the new scheme will cover outpatient and inpatient services, dental and optical care, emergency and specialised treatments, overseas care, and annual medical check-ups.

“This new scheme expands access from 800 to 6,000 public, private, and faith-based facilities nationwide, and includes outpatient and inpatient services, dental and optical care, emergency and specialised treatments, overseas care, and annual medical check-ups,” Murkomen said.

He further noted the government’s commitment to honouring Security Officers’ sacrifice by guaranteeing them quality medical cover, together with their dependants, so that they can serve with assurance and peace of mind.
