Kochi: General Insurance Officers’ All India Association has urged the Kerala government to entrust the proposed health insurance scheme to a public sector general insurance company.
P. P. Mohanan, general secretary of the association, Kerala unit, said in a statement here that PSU general insurers have more than 35 years of experience in the field. Besides, they have offices in all the 14 districts of the State.
Four PSU general insurers have been successfully running Universal Health Insurance Scheme across the country since 2003, the statement said. It said that in January 2006, the previous government had entrusted a private insurer with a health insurance scheme. The company withdrew from the scene even before the scheme started, the statement claimed.
