DOHA: The long-awaited health insurance law might see the light of day sooner than later as the State Cabinet yesterday reviewed its draft. 

Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported that the draft legislation was reviewed and discussed by the State Cabinet at its weekly meeting yesterday. 

A senior official of the Ministry of Labour recently announced in a media interview that the proposed law, once in force, would make it mandatory for private companies to provide free medical cover to all their employees while the government would ensure free health cover for Qatari citizens.
