The Selangor government has allocated about RM42 million to provide health insurance plan to 85,000 families from the B40 group in the state, said Menteri Besar Amirudin Shari.
He said all the recipients are from the B40 group whose monthly household income is below RM2,000.
"This assistance is an improvement of the Peduli Sihat insurance scheme under the Selangor Prihatin stimulus package announced by the state government on April 1.
"This universal health insurance is aimed at helping to ease the burden of the B40 group, especially in receiving basic treatment and various other health protection benefits," he told reporters at the lobby of the Selangor State Legislative Assembly today.
He said among the insurance benefits are funeral assistance of RM1,000 and also RM5,000 that each covers accident, critical illness and life insurance.
For more information about the insurance, the public could visit the pedulisihat.com website, he added.
