The Hindu Business Line : Plea on health insurance

General Insurance Officers All-India Association has urged the State Government to entrust the proposed health insurance scheme to a public sector general insurance company. Mr P.P. Mohanan, General Secretary of the association's Kerala unit, said that the PSU general insurers are having experience of more than 35 years in the field. Further, they have office network in all the 14 districts in the State. A similar `Universal Health Insurance Scheme' has been successfully implemented by the four PSU general insurers all over the country since 2003. In Janurary 2006, the previous State Government entrusted a health insurance scheme to a private insurer and the company withdrew from the scheme even before starting it, he said. - Our Bureau
