Free Covid-19 coverage for non-
Prudential customers
Prudential Malaysia has also
set up an RM300,000 fund for
non-customers to receive free
Covid-19 coverage. All they need
to do is register for the Special
Covid-19 Coverage on Pulse 1 . Eligible
users will then receive an RM1,000
cash payout as a financial relief
upon hospitalisation until the total
fund payout reaches RM300,000.
Wan Saifulrizal Wan Ismail,
Chief Executive Officer of
Prudential BSN Takaful Berhad,
said: “We will continue to listen to
our customers and provide the best
to support, protect, and serve them
no matter the situation. Through
our appPulse, even non-Prudential
customers can enjoy protection
with our Special Covid-19 Coverage
for free, as it is our goal to make
healthcare affordable and accessible
to everyone.
“With the coverage and its
updated benefits, the lump sum
payment can help support one’s
financial responsibilities, be it bills,
hospitalisation costs, or even daily
expenses like food for the family.
This virus has changed the way we
Malaysians live, and Prudential
is committed to protecting all
Malaysians as we get through this
together.”
Pulse is a digital health app
which is free to download. It uses
AI-powered self-help tools and
real-time information to enable
users to get a report on their health
status, check on possible causes of
their symptoms, get connected to a
doctor for online consultation and
identify potential dengue hotspots.
The app also keeps users
updated with the latest health tips
and developments on Covid-19.
Prudential Malaysia customers
have access to the free online
doctor consultation on Pulse. At
the same time, non-customers can
also enjoy the service free of charge
upon completion of a health check
available on the app. — The Health

works with over 100 artisans from
women’s cooperatives, indigenous
tribes and refugee groups, across
six States to produce all the PPE
suits needed for this contribution.
The Association is also well
known for its sustained corporate
social responsibilities, which
not only benefits the plantation
industry but the country as a
whole.
MEOA’s President Jeffrey
Ong in a statement said: “We at
MEOA are incredibly grateful for
the commitment and the heroic
display of kindness, dedication, and
professionalism of our healthcare
professionals. Despite facing a
real danger of contracting the
Covid-19 and facing serious work
exhaustion, they continue to be
truly committed to saving lives.”
“HTAA is an exemplary public
hospital for dedicating their staff
and facilities to treat Covid-19
patients. The government supports
their efforts. It is to curb the spread
and intensity of the epidemic,
not just in Pahang but all over the
country.”
Dr Norazmi Abdullah, who is
Hospital Director of HTAA, said:
“HTAA appreciates and thanks
MEOA for this generous donation of
much-needed items. It is good that
members are of the public
are involved and are supporting
HTAA and other medical
personnel.”
As a continuous effort, MEOA
will be donating 1,000 PPE suits
each to two other dedicated Covid-
19 hospitals – in Perak and Johor
respectively and one in Sabah, in
the coming weeks. — The Health
