    "content": "irregularities that may indicate fraudulent behaviour. The system will be integrated with approved clinical guidelines to ensure patient management is standardised. The fourth one, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is enhanced monitoring and enforcement. The Government has intensified efforts to monitor healthcare facilities and enforce compliance with regulations. Enhancement of oversight through frequent inspections, audits and performance of evaluations is going to enable regulatory bodies and the Social Health Authority to hold facilities accountable for adherence to ethical standards, quality care and financial transparency, thereby reducing the likelihood of fraudulent activities. The fifth one is on creating public awareness and reporting mechanisms. The Government is also focused on raising public awareness about medical fraud and encouraging individuals to report any suspicious experiences of fraudulent practices in healthcare facilities. This will be done by promoting transparency, accountability and whistle-blower protection. The Government will empower the public to play an active role in combating fraud and ensuring accountability within the health sector. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding the compensation of victims of medical fraud, the MoH and its agencies are not expected to compensate any victim of medical insurance fraud. However, the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA) may provide more details if there have been compensations to victims of medical insurance fraud. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, and Hon. Members, I submit. Thank you."
