A delay by the State Department of Social Protection in submitting to the Ministry of Health the list of citizens aged 70 and above has seen eligible beneficiaries go for months without free medical cover promised by the State.

The Ministry of Health says it is yet to receive the list containing the names of the 523,000 beneficiaries who are entitled to State-sponsored National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) cover.
