Health insurance gives pregnant women 3 months of leave after 28 weeks of fetus formation

The Health Insurance Authority decided to grant exceptional leave to a pregnant woman whose pregnancy passed 28 weeks (7 months), until the date of childbirth.

This comes in the new instructions issued by the authority regarding exceptional leaves at the end of the pregnancy period, as part of precautionary measures to prevent the outbreak of the Corona epidemic.

The Health Insurance Authority stressed that the date of pregnancy is confirmed by ultrasound and a clinical examination.

She indicated that these leave shall be granted by the general and subsidiary medical committees without exception, provided that these instructions shall be applied temporarily for a period of 3 months from the beginning of this year.
