New parameters added to HSP 3.0 for early detection of more NCD risk factors
With that in mind, the Social Security Organisation has implemented its enhanced PERKESO Health Screening Programme from May 16 to Dec 31 this year.
Therefore, HSP version 3.0 is introduced to offer a new and enhanced health screening initiative for the workers and it allows them to obtain their latest health status especially after the pandemic.“More than 2.2 million workers are eligible for health screening under HSP 3.0, which is provided free of charge,” Dr Mohammed Azman says.
With the need for more definitive tests, new parameters are added into HSP 3.0 for early detection of more NCDs risk factors. In 2022, PERKESO launched SEHATi as a new platform for HSP: the SEHATi Mobile application for PERKESO Insured Person, and SEHATi Portal for HSP Panels. “The results are confidential, the company only knows the overall health data of employees screened, not individual results.
“Healthy workers mean increased productivity; this has been shown in many studies, in many companies,” Dr Azlan says. It is also time-saving as employees do not need to be present at the clinic for the health screening.A total of 240 employees were screened at the on-site programme and 2,700 more to be screened by the end of the year.
