According to a statement from the Presidency of the Republic, the Head of State issued instructions to address the situation as swiftly as possible and to identify urgent solutions capable of ensuring the necessary health coverage for all insured persons, regardless of their affiliation scheme, through the National Health Insurance Fund. In this context, he stressed the importance of mobilizing all stakeholders involved in the social protection system in order to overcome existing difficulties and put an end to the suffering of citizens.
The President of the Republic also emphasized that guaranteeing the right to social and health coverage that meets citizens’ expectations is one of the fundamental human rights, considering it absolutely unacceptable to deviate from the objectives for which the social security funds were originally established.
