The government is committed to the welfare of Public Servants through the introduction of the National Health and  Life Insurance Policy.

Department of Personnel Management Secretary Taies Sansan called on all public sector agencies to take ownership of the National Health and Life insurance policy and implement it for the benefit of all public servants in the country.

Secretary Sansan stated this when welcoming all government agencies during the consultation session on the Draft Nuicare Bill 2024 held on Friday 9th August at  the APEC Haus.

Ms. Sansan said DPM is committed to the welfare, of the public service workforce and acknowledged the critical importance of introducing appropriate and relevant policy initiatives that addressed the needs of our publics servants.

The policy is focused on the wellbeing of public servants which add value to the lives of their family members.

Secretary Sansan stressed that the policy  initiative stands out as another significant milestone for the Public Service under the Marape-Rosso Government.

 This policy is  amongst, other relevant policy initiatives that the department has introduced such as the 30-year Public Service Human Resource Development Strategic Plan 2020-2050, the SILAG Public Sector Training Policy, Public Service Housing Initiatives and the Performance Management System.

 These initiatives are all aimed at enhancing the performance of public servants  and improving the “public service delivery” mechanism.

Ms. Sansan said the essence of establishing this policy, is to ensure that the welfare of our public servants and their families is covered in the event of sickness, accidents and deaths.

“I am deeply grateful for this policy as it is the first of its kind in the public service. Its operations and benefits will provide financial security for the public servants and the state”.

This policy is fully mooted by the state, and public servants must take pride in embracing the ownership of this policy for their long-term benefit. I encourage my fellow Heads of Agencies to commit to implementing this policy with dedication” said Secretary Sansan.
