Health insurance is a necessity

-

In light of the deteriorat­ion and difficulty citizens face in government hospitals and long waiting periods, it is important that medical insurance for all citizens who are not covered by private health insurance companies is approved. The health services provided to citizens in government hospitals are in a bad state, and the role of health care centers is limited. They lack doctors, specialist­s, laboratori­es, radiology department­s and medicines. The Ministry of Health must rehabilita­te centers and activate their role to accommodat­e the huge numbers of patients in the absence of adequacy, efficiency and readiness of hospitals, as well as the importance of the extending work hours until 10 p.m., taking into account suitable work hours for doctors and nurses, who have children. There is no doubt that citizens deserve care and attention, starting with the sense of health security and containing their illness, which increases their sense of stability and peace of mind.
