Abu Dhabi: Phase 1 of the national health insurance scheme comes into consequence on Saturday, covering more than 750,000 people under the obligatory plan.
All government and semi-government institutions in addition to private companies with more than 1,000 employees should provide this health insurance for their employees.
The insurance would be appropriate to all expatriates residing or working in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Companies which do not give the coverage would be penalized, as described by the health insurance plan by law which was permitted by the Executive Council.
Under the terms of the law, employees and their dependents, as well as spouse and three children under the age of 18, would be covered by this health insurance by their employer.
The General Authority for Health Services in Abu Dhabi has permitted six health insurance providers for private and public sector organizations for the national health insurance scheme.
