Al-Abyadh gave a speech in which he expressed his happiness that “no one was affected by the accident that the hospital was exposed to, even if it stopped performing some basic services.”
He added, “The basic idea is that following the crisis we went through, there are significant funds for the official guarantors, including the Ministry of Health, and we are addressing this issue with the government, and we demand that there be greater support in the budget that must have priorities.”
He pointed out that “now there are no priorities, and the Ministry of Health covers everything, bearing in mind that we cover all services, including those that do not fall within the priorities. There are some operations that we sometimes consider cosmetic, but they are covered.”
Al-Abyadh pointed out that, “What we are currently doing is focusing mainly on 3 cases: kidney dialysis patients, the tariff for treating cancerous diseases, and in this regard, we will announce an increase in the tariff in the treatment centers and for the attending physicians, and we will work to speed up payment to hospitals so that the process will not exceed Weeks, and this is what we are working on with the Ministry of Finance, in addition to emergency diseases such as heart attack.”
He hoped that “these treatments will alleviate the suffering of the citizens.”
In response to a question, Al-Abyadh said: “We focus on the role played by government hospitals, and we provide a large part of the medicines directly to the hospital to reduce the cost, and there are almost cancer medicines, especially basic medicines that are difficult to obtain, and God willing, they will reach Lebanon within a month and a half.” “.
