Ministry Identifies Anomalies in Free Medical Scheme
The Ministry of Finance has found 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 Ministry has taken steps to address these issues, holding back payments until claims are reconciled in cases of suspected abuse.
Background of the Scheme

- 49 General Practitioners, Dental Practitioners, and Medical Laboratories are part of the scheme.
