CSAA AIU Organises Medical Insurance Briefing for Local Students

ALOR SETAR, 8 APRIL 2026 – The Centre for Student Affairs and Alumni (CSAA) successfully organised the AIU Student Medical Insurance Briefing for Local Students, held from 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM at LT4. The programme aimed to educate local students on the medical insurance coverage provided by the university.

The briefing was delivered by Mr. Hazween Eyzwann bin Sharif, with the attendance and support of Mr. Mohd Noorizam bin Abd Rahim, Director of CSAA, Ms. Nurul Izzati Ramli, Mr. Muhammad Faiz Jelani, and Mr. Mohamad Ariff Musthapa Kamal.

During the session, students were briefed on the scope of coverage, including outpatient treatment at panel clinics, hospitalisation and surgery, as well as death and disability benefits. The session also provided guidance on the proper procedures when seeking treatment, such as visiting panel clinics first, obtaining referral letters for specialist care, and identifying emergency situations. Important rules, limitations, and exclusions were also highlighted to ensure students have a clear understanding of their coverage.

The briefing also introduced a new insurance package specifically for local students. Previously, the insurance provider was Zurich; however, the package was found to be limited despite its high cost, resulting in low utilisation among students.

In response, CSAA collaborated with Tradewinds to develop a new and more beneficial insurance proposal. The new providers, MediExpress and Takaful, offer more comprehensive coverage, including both outpatient and inpatient services, at a more affordable monthly cost per student.

At the end of the session, medical panel cards were distributed to students to facilitate access to panel clinics and hospitals.This initiative reflects CSAA’s commitment to ensuring the welfare of local students by providing access to better healthcare coverage and equipping them with the necessary knowledge to utilise their insurance benefits effectively.
