Life in a factory: Socso Health Screening Voucher

Company has received the Health Screening Voucher from the Social Security Organisation (Socso) today.

The voucher for free health screening test for private sector workers above the age of 40, was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak when tabling the 2013 Budget on Sept 28, last year. The screening is aimed at detecting non-communicable diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer and heart disease. It would include physical examination, full blood profile and urine test. For the women, there will be an additional pap smear test and mammogram. The screening would be an ongoing exercise as those reaching the age of 40, would become eligible and be given the free vouchers for the medical test.

Human Resource Department will be distributing all the vouchers via each department. Should you fail to received, please refer to your department head.
