Guest: Siti Subaidah Mustaffa, Chairman, National Coalition for Mental Wellbeing (NCMW), Lavender Tan, Clinical Psychologist

Recently, the Health Parliamentary Special Select Committee proposed that insurance coverage should be expanded for mental health services. We’ve gone from zero mental health coverage to at least three providers including some coverage in their policies within the last seven years, but has this been enough? On this episode of Mind Matters, we speak to Siti Subaidah Mustaffa, Chairman of the National Coalition for Mental Wellbeing (NCMW) and Lavender Tan, a clinical psychologist, on why mental health insurance matters and whether it would improve access to mental health services for those who need it.
