Hi everyone.
I know Aramco provides free health care to employees and their dependants, this may include hospital visits and medical tests. I am wondering if the policy covers medicines as well. I am on expensive medicine which I am getting for free on the NHS here in the UK. will this kind of treatment be provided for free? is medicine costs, repeat prescription, covered by the employee fully or partially? Is this something the RA can advise about? many thanks in advance.

There is no cost for prescriptions.

I would add that they might sub it for a generic etc but to be honest, if the NHS are covering it you can safely say that you’ll get like for like.

I’d absolutely say it’s safe to assume, I’ve not know anyone, including me, to have issues.
