"Health expenditures in the 2021 budget for the first time amounted to 1.4 billion manat."

APA reports that this was stated by the chairman of the Health Committee of the parliament Ahliman Amiraslanov during the discussion of the draft law "On the implementation of the state budget of the Republic of Azerbaijan for 2021" at today's meeting of the Milli Majlis.

Ahliman Amiraslanov said that today, along with our successes in the field of compulsory health insurance, we also have problems: “In the adoption of the state budget for 2021, we raised a number of issues related to health expenditures before Samir Muallim.

Today, some of these issues have been resolved.

One of the main problems was the breakdown of medical equipment in clinics.

Starting from 2022, work is being done in this direction.

Compulsory health insurance services are increasing day by day.

However, there are diseases that cause great losses among the population and are not included in the package of services.

One of them is oncological diseases.

Oncological diseases must be covered by compulsory medical insurance.

I consider that,

any disease cannot be excluded from compulsory health insurance, and all diseases must be included in the package of services.

On the other hand, high-capacity operations are carried out, but there are queues under compulsory health insurance.

This problem must be solved. "
