Dr/Saud Madj: Postponement «health insurance» better than providing modest services

Dr/ Saud Majd Fears that it can't achieve «totalitarian» in care and «justice» in the application.



Experts and who are interested in the field of insurance demanded from the Ministry of Health that does not rely on commercial companies in the application of the health insurance program for citizens because its goal mainly is profit only and the health of the citizens does not accept the bid and enter into a profit and loss issues and quoted the failure of international experience in the medical insurance done by commercial companies and the good an example of this health staff in «America», where the health insurance did not cover all citizens despite the quality of services, since only the rich benefited from it; which means that the system may not ensure inclusiveness and justice in health services; because it relies on commercial grounds, and who has sufficient financial ability will get on top of the services, while those who do not have this ability can't be obtained from the appropriate service.

Experts have made it clear that health insurance postponement better than rushing in its application, despite the urgent need to speed activated in public hospitals to reach all citizens because the negative aspects that will arise will be much larger than the desired benefit especially the health sector represented in the government side currently has capabilities significantly greater than the private sector which converts some cases to governmental hospitals in the state. which owns specialized and advisory medical competencies that have proven their efficiency in the medical field.

Saud Madj a Member of the Health Committee in the Chamber of Commerce and an expert in the field of insurance  believes that the delay in the health insurance application to citizens is acceptable, to avoid the rush and the mistakes that the project may fail if all the steps have not dealt wisely, Noting that the  project application with these defects citizens will suffer to reach pending medical service, and the private sector will suffer also to take its dues from insurance companies, and we will find ourselves fall in countless problems and the current medical situation is much better, considering that the prudence and solving the negative points would be a big success for the project
He said that having the experience of health insurance to arrivals are supposed to be considered in the negatives and to be avoided. prior to the approval health insurance system for citizens. Adding: «supposed to deal with all the negatives, even if we're late for another year, there is no problem, but the problem is that health insurance is applied without completion », pointing out the importance to know the details of the system for everyone, so that they can fully benefit from it, and achieve its goals

He added that the specialized hospitals in the UK should not be involved into the subject of insuranc because this service provided to citizens from the state, and the conversion of specialized hospitals to general hospitals cause negative results, They should remain receive specialized cases, but the usual medical services , such as: the telescope, and ear, nose and throat clinics, and everything does not need to convert to specialized hospitals are calculated on insurance, noting that the citizen has the right to access to specialized treatment without any insurance

He pointed out that the difference between the current situation and the situation after the health insurance system on the citizen lies in the alleviating of services provided by the Ministry of Health and military hospitals for the citizen from the state, pointing out that the insurance will open the options in front of the citizen, for example, we have (530.000) teachers, and this is the important part, if they has insurance coverage,  this will reduce much of the burden that would be supported by the state in their treatment, as well as for other sectors

«Fouad Almshee_khas» - expert in the field of insurance, said: - «insurance companies are still unprepared, and the Ministry of Health received a lot of money to spend on medical service that you want to be perfect, but the companies are not currently able to make the perfect vision, and you need more time; which shows the importance of the delay, according to these conditions, and to succeed in the strategic plan for health insurance for the citizen must perform a series of crucial steps before application, including: the privatization of the health sector, as it is not able to convert patients on companies and you have a lot of hospitals

He pointed out that insurance companies do not meet the ideal conditions Currently, and its terms of work are very slow, and if those companies received strategic plan will create a lot of medical problems in the future, and no one wants that, of course, noting that administrative mentality of these operating companies  not changed will not take responsibility on the health of citizens, especially that the current examples are clear in front of the eyes, pointing out that the ultimate goal for companies is not the health of the citizen, but profit, which is opposite to the aspiration of the Ministry of Health, calling for finding realistic solutions to rein in those companies.

«Almshee_khas» confirmed that rush haphazard of insurance program has  counterproductive results, adding: «I do not expect that the Ministry of Health will take urgent steps  in the insurance application without a complete study prior arrangements, it is possible the insurance will be  in the form of stages It is possible that the insurance in the form of stages, such as starting with the staff of health, or the Special Working Group, when try these steps on small groups in the beginning, we will know how to correct the errors in the form of stages and not left them to worsen », noting the importance of time to develop  any strategic plan, he confirmed that :convert all Saudis to health insurance means that we are able to provide all health services for them, and there won't be what is known as » gradual Insurance » they all will be in one high degree, and that forcing insurance companies to provide great services equivalent to insurance card, which the State seeks..
