President Dr Mohamed Muizzu announced that Aasandha, the Maldives' national social health insurance scheme, will move to an income-based model from October, removing 100 percent coverage for those earning above MVR 60,000 a month. The reform is projected to save the State MVR 287 million a year, which will be redirected toward other public services and national development priorities.
One outlet so far Only Maldives News Network has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
Under the revised policy, individuals earning a monthly salary above MVR 60,000 will no longer receive 100 percent coverage.
