Minister Hasbani
“Since less than five hundred days, we have taken office, and since less than three hundred days, we have launched the 2025 Health Strategy. We have achieved many stages in the execution of the first phase of the strategy that includes the development of the legal and procedural terms of the Universal Health Coverage, the launching of e-health, the emergency plan, and applications and food safety campaigns away from media spotlights. We have also developed incentives for hospitals to enhance intensive care, where the number of beds has been increased and we secured the funding required to develop the emergency department in government hospitals and support PHC centers from the World Bank and Islamic fund. And finally we have supported the pharmaceutical sector by taking a series of measures that promote the national industry, pharmacists and medicine safety, and launched e-services to simplify the citizen’s life and enhance transparency.”
