Recently the Ministry of Health and Population has issued a new directive to offer financial assistance to poor people with chronic diseases (cardiovascular, kidney diseases, Parkinson’s disease, Alzhaimer, spinal and head injury). Through this directive, the Government will provide support till 100.000 NRS for patient with one of the above mentioned conditions. The initiative has the potential to be a steppingstone towards a welfare state that can take care of the health of the most disadvantaged citizens.
