Some 2000 health professionals such as nurses, physiotherapists, speech therapists, clinical psychologists and clinical dieticians will be swelling the ranks of the General Health Scheme (GHS) as from June.
The lists for the professionals to register will open in April and intense negotiations are expected over the next 15 days between the Health Insurance Organisation and the health professionals’ representatives.
