Another chapter of a fractured legacy

Retired Singapore Gurkhas do not receive adequate medical facilities in Nepal. During their active service period, they are provided with medical benefits through the Medisave-cum-Subsidised Out Patient scheme. After retirement, they are provided with a Medical Benefits Identity Memo on an ad hoc basis for treatment in designated polyclinics or hospitals in Singapore. However, this scheme is not practical for retired Gurkhas who cannot remain in Singapore and have either returned to Nepal or sought work in a third country.
