SOCSO's Health Screening Program




What is SOCSO's Health Screening Program?

The SOCSO Health Screening Program (HSP) is a new benefit provided by SOCSO with the purpose of promoting healthy lifestyles and identifying high-risk groups of workers with non-communicable diseases.

The real drive behind the Health Screening Program is due to the rising number of workers who are certified to be invalid due to lifestyle diseases (34% from invalidity pension reported and 49% from survivors` pension reported). With the health screening program, workers will be able to identify their risk of such diseases and seek proper treatment to avoid sickness and complications. Such intervention would stimulate a positive impact which promotes retention of experienced workers and increase of productivity which will directly create a vibrant business environment and stimulate the nation’s economy.

Objectives

a) Promote healthy culture and awareness of the non-communicable diseases;
