The Health Insurance Organisation (HIO) informs the public about the contact details of the Personal Physician (PI) Chaplaincy Services, per province, during the weekend of 27 - 28 January 2024.

Note that the contact details of the PI Chaplaincy Services will be adjusted periodically and will be posted on the GHS website[/URL] as well as on the official OAI social media accounts.


Recall that PI Chaplaincy Services are provided to adults and children who are beneficiaries of the GHS on weekends and public holidays, and relate to the provision of health care for emergency problems such as acute onset of alarming symptoms, sudden and severe pain, worsening symptoms of a serious chronic illness, high fever accompanied by other symptoms.

Beneficiaries should not contact PI on-call services for pre-existing medical conditions, issuing repeat prescriptions, issuing referrals to other GHS services, or in cases where they do not have time to visit their Personal Physician.

The Chaplaincy Services are open on weekends and public holidays from 11 am to 5 pm.

For their convenience, beneficiaries should contact the PI Chaplaincy Services in their province by telephone during the opening hours of the Chaplaincy Services. After an assessment of the health problem, an appointment is arranged within the day and hours of operation of the Chaplaincy Services. It is emphasised that for the convenience of beneficiaries, services operate by scheduled appointments only.
