From where is this person expected to live? Is he supposed to earn for himself or to come to private hospitals? They can’t afford it. I am one of those people who cannot afford this.”

“Unfortunately, since the beginning of 2024 and until now, support has stopped for 31 health facilities, including 14 hospitals. Almost all financial aid has stopped. Unfortunately, this large number of facilities with no financial support has created an a lot pressure on the health in the places where support has not stopped. This is leading to a decline in the quality of service, in addition to the enormous pressure on other health facilities.”
