Private hospital care for public servants is hypocritical, says Solidarity

Trade union Solidarity has criticised the recent decision by the government’s biggest medical scheme to guarantee private hospital care to all its members, saying it was an admission of the state’s failure to run an effective public healthcare system.

Until 2018, Gems members on the lowest salary bands received all hospital care except admissions for childbirth at state hospitals. That began to change this year, when Gems extended their private hospital cover a limited range of admissions, which will be further expanded next year.

I say again, it’s public servant may not used private services like schooling, medical, security etc. In addition, they may ONLY travel usibg public transport.
