National health insurance is famous for the words, ‘leaving no one behind’ this brilliantly encapsulates one of its key objectives, that is making health benefits accessible to a large portion of the population by facilitating payments of the same. When we say orthodox medical schemes, we refer to schemes that are voluntarily purchased from mainstream health insurance providers.
The advantages of National health insurance are that medical benefits are made accessible to a vast set of the population who would not have been able to access the said benefits. However, orthodox medical schemes grant policyholders a greater degree of control of their level of benefits and scope of cover.
