Unforeseen medical bills can often weigh heavy on your monthly budget, creating financial strain and stress. These surprise expenses, stemming from out-of-network charges or urgent procedures, can disrupt even the most carefully planned finances.
The UAE's health ministry has launched an 'easy payment initiative', which allows people using their facilities to pay for the services in instalments through credit cards. The Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHAP) joined hands with eight local banks to provide the payment plan.
