Universal Health Insurance update - 25th Jan
Last update: 25th January 2012.
Please note that this update has been rolled into our main UHI article; HERE
Following our previous Universal Healthcare updates (HERE), the British Embassy has made a statement on their website.
You may view their statement HERE, the gist of which is as follows:
- The proposed Universal Healthcare scheme (and hence the payments) will NOT be compulsory for British citizens.
- For those British citizens who have started the process they may continue to join the scheme.
- British citizens who currently meet the requirements to join may join, however joining past the deadline of the 31st January WILL incur the fee, and they will be asked to make back-payments.
So, in summary; if you are currently eligible to join and would like to do so, you are advised to visit the SGK office before the 1st February to enrol in the scheme. Otherwise, no further action is currently required.
