dc.descriptionThis Official edition of 2001 publication outlines the comprehensive regulations and administrative rules governing the Staff Health Insurance Fund (SHIF) established by the International Labour Office (ILO) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). Designed to provide financial coverage and reimbursement for medical care, illness, accident, maternity, and personal preventive care, the document serves as the primary legal and operational framework for the fund. The text details eligibility requirements and coverage parameters for compulsorily and voluntarily insured officials, former staff, survivors, and their family members. It outlines benefit structures including professional medical services, hospital stays, prescribed medicines, dental care, optical appliances, and transport costs along with specific limitations, exclusions, and supplementary benefit thresholds. Furthermore, the publication defines the fund's financial mechanics, such as contribution assessments, rates, and guarantee fund regulations designed to maintain long-term financial equilibrium. Finally, it establishes the administrative governance of the fund, delineating the responsibilities of the Management Committee, Standing Subcommittee, Executive Secretary, Medical Adviser, and auditors, alongside procedures for dispute resolution and internal elections.
