Health Ministry yesterday denied reports circulating online that it is moving ahead with the privatisation of health support services. The ministry said it is restructuring the health system to meet the requirements of the Health Insurance Law and provide autonomy to government hospitals and primary health centres.
Further explaining, the ministry said the redeployment of employees between the Ministry of Health, hospitals and health centres is part of one of the plans to complete the health insurance project. “The process was completed in advance in the Department of Human Resources and Financial and Information more than a year ago as part of administrative and organisational plans,” the ministry said. The ministry also confirmed using a specialised company for developing and modernising the technical information system used in the management of central warehouses and support services.
“These are aimed at improving and raising the efficiency of the procedures following the latest standards in the management of stories and medical supplies.”
