AMMAN — Health Minister Ali Hiasat on Wednesday promised to study the demands of health insurance employees regarding their annual compensation and transportation allowance.

The ministry’s spokesperson, HatemAzrui, said the minister met with the director of the health insurance department, Khalid Abu Hdeib, and representatives of the department’s employees.

Hiasat listened to their demands after they organised a sit-in on Wednesday morning.

The half-hour-long sit-in was held to protest a Cabinet decision to stop disbursing annual compensations for employees.

They also urged the Health Ministry to go back on a decision to cancel employees’ transportation allowance.
