PETALING JAYA: MediAsas, the government’s Base Medical and Health Insurance/Takaful (MHIT) Plan, is on track for nationwide implementation by the end of January 2027, Deputy Finance Minister Liew Chin Tong said.
He said the pilot programme, which began in late July 2026, was being conducted on a controlled basis in the Klang Valley to assess the operational readiness of insurance and takaful operators (ITOs) and private hospitals, as well as consumer acceptance and understanding of the plan.
The programme involves various groups of users, including government agencies, government-linked companies (GLCs), government-linked investment companies (GLICs), small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and gig workers.
