Request a budget allocation

Budgetary allocation enables staff members to bear only a portion of the medical costs associated with:

• consultations;

• tests;

• hospitalisation.

Coverage also extends to spouses and dependent children. For outpatient care, the employee is responsible for one-fifth (1/5) of the medical costs, excluding the cost of medication. For hospitalisation, the State pays the full cost before deducting one-fifth (1/5) at source, which is payable by the employee. The budget allocation applies to the current month and to a specific healthcare facility.
