Dr Al-Qana’i in an interview with the daily said this will be done in cooperation and coordination with the Ministry of Health to complete the health insurance system and move to the next stage, in preparation for receiving those covered by the health insurance system – a mechanism approved by the government for 130 dinars for expats that will be borne by the employer.
