Health Minister Wael Abou Faour announced Tuesday that a budget of 17 billion LL will be dedicated to provide full hospitalization coverage for all the Lebanese people aged 64 and above.
“No Lebanese will be prevented from entering hospital if he needs so,” Abou Faour said.
For his part, Prime Minister Tammam Salam noted that “a healthy political life requires significant efforts in order to confront all the challenges.”
“We need to address the country’s main issues, including the oil and gas reserves,” Salam added.
The premier also said that he sensed the ministers’ awareness and responsibility in terms of the budget.
