Parliament addresses student sick leave amid booking congestion
Representative Ireen Saeed submitted a query regarding the new procedures for approving sick leave for students. These procedures are limited to health insurance authorities and require prior online booking, raising concerns about increased congestion at health insurance clinics and its impact on sick children and their families. The new measures, including the requirement for a tripartite stamp and coordination with medical entities, pose difficulties in obtaining quick sick leave approvals—especially in emergency cases, or for children with disabilities or chronic illnesses. The proposal also suggests expanding the authorized bodies to issue leave and aims to strike a balance between enforcing discipline and ensuring children’s right to rest and treatment, while reducing burdens on families and their staff.
