DUBAI: The Emirate of Abu Dhabi would commence a health insurance policy next month, which would help low-income group.
"From July 1, all companies that fall under the Phase 1 category will be obliged to take part in the health insurance scheme which will make the lowest paid the first to benefit from the law," said Dr Ahmad Al Mazroui, Director General of the General Authority for Health Services (GAHS) in Abu Dhabi.
Implementation of the Abu Dhabi health insurance regulation would take place in two separate phases, with Phase 1 set to begin by July. All governmental and semi-governmental companies are necessary to stick to it, as well as private companies with over 1,000 employees.
Phase 2 of the health insurance scheme would begin in January 2007, and would apply to companies that employ less than 1,000 people.
More than half a million expatriates are predictable to benefit from the scheme.
