The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has requested Minet to surrender of teachers’ medical records as part of the transition of medical services to the Social Health Authority (SHA).

In a letter dated November 28, 2025,  TSC directed Minet to release detailed medical information on teachers and their dependents within set timelines. This is in preparation for the December 1 migration of teachers’ insurance policy.

The directives followed a meeting between TSC, SHA and Minet held at the Commission Secretary’s boardroom, where the three parties agreed that all patient data to be transferred to guarantee continued seamless healthcare services once SHA fully takes over management.

 

TSC asked Minet to submit a chronic illness register by November 29, 2025, while all other records were to be submitted by November 30, 2025.

The requested records include maternity cases in progress, a list of all local inpatient cases, a register of all ongoing international treatments, IVF cases, biometric data of all teachers and their dependants and those scheduled for overseas treatment.

“Kindly expedite to enable smooth transition and continued delivery of services,” TSC Acting Commission Secretary Eveleen Mitei told Minet.

More than 400,000 teachers are expected to migrate their insurance cover from Minet to SHA, a move that officials say will bring improved medical benefits while in service.

The new scheme is set to take effect on December 1, 2025.

Teachers will receive their healthcare cover under the Public Officers Medical Scheme Fund (POMSF), a proposed fund to provide comprehensive medical coverage for public officers and their dependents.

Under the new package, the cover will include the principal member, a declared spouse, and up to five children. Dependent children aged up to 25 years who are enrolled in full-time study will also continue to benefit.
