The General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) has reiterated that it will bear their cost of living should any expatriate worker got injured while doing their duties.
“If the objection is accepted, the worker will be compensated,” GOSI said.
If the worker has been badly injured that it resulted to permanent disability, GOSI will shoulder the repatriation expenses of the expat worker to his/her home country. Before the worker leaves, the compensation will be fully paid
GOSI said that it will be considered a work injury if an expatriate worker is injured in a traffic accident while on the way to work place or from work going back home.
