It is not us who are negotiating for the health of the homeland or the health of the citizen

The Al-Murtada Hospital in Baalbeck, under the patronage and presence of the Minister of Public Health, Dr. Jamil Jabbak, said: "We have been in the Ministry of Health since the first day we are looking for energies and hospitals to be able to serve our people, not Baalbek Hermel Only, but throughout Lebanon, and we will not accept the opening of hospital stores, we need specialized hospitals to send back the Medical and hospital gate in the Middle East, we were there and we will stay.

He said that "the signature of the protocol with Iraq was aimed at restoring the glory of Lebanon in the hospital sector and rebadure those who go to Lebanon so that they recover that it will benefit from the highest quality treatment possible. "

"I congratulate you, Professor Abbas, for this step that I have taken, because we need it."

"Baalbek is the city of coexistence and the best example is the generous presence of the city and its region in Baalbeck, which has survived despite all the incidents in Lebanon since 1975. Its people live together safely This city and region, like many parts of Lebanon, especially Akkar, have suffered from social, health and environmental deprivations and delays in every sense of the word. my job is perhaps to reform the health situation not only in Baalbek Hermel, but in Lebanon as a whole, My duty as health minister and my duty as a doctor before becoming a minister, because what I have experienced with people during this period A week after my arrival at the ministry, I told Akkar that not every hospital would accept a patient at his door and let him die or curtail his treatment, I told him I will say that I will not answer any political entity, no matter how important it is, because the human being in Lebanon is sacred. "

"We are not the ones who negotiate for the health of the homeland or the citizen, and the one who brought me to this place is rich in definition and sacrifices that I have made to this country to preserve it. and its people.I devote myself to preserve the dignity of the human being throughout Lebanon.We need help, we are currently in the budget of the Ministry of Health and hospitalization does not exceed 600 billion Lire la suite, and we cover about 1800 000 citizens.At today, in all budgets, the budget of the Ministry of Health generally represents between 7 and 10% of the general budget, Lebanon represents only 2% of the overall budget , a problem we are suffering from We have an annual deficit of more than 150 billion pounds with austerity ".

"We need a grant to streamline the money we put in hospitals because some private hospitals unfortunately do not benefit from the financial cap, the intervention of a patient n & # 39; 39; there is no need to enter the hospital, or that a patient suffering from pain in the abdomen rings his head or leans towards his heart, This is a waste of money. Useless public money, and we, at the department, have asked health controllers to insist on hospital bills. "

He added, "With regard to drugs, since we received the Ministry's expectations for the end of the year, we have saved up to 90 billion pounds in drugs, but the problem at which we were facing when the department received 165 billion pounds of the drug budget was 30 billion for the extended period.Between February 1 and January 1, 2020, we collaborated with pharmaceutical companies and drug suppliers in Lebanon so that we can get a medical bill of between 40% and 80% for incurable diseases. "

"The financial ceilings of public and private hospitals are modest and next year's speech will be different in terms of financial ceilings.In many hospitals we find that there is no ceiling financial in 10 months and that the patient is in this case, where to go, For example, during my first visit to the government hospital Baalbek, which is the center hospital, I found that they do not have X-ray equipment. The emergency room is not equipped with any technical equipment to help or monitor the patient until he / she has the necessary equipment. it is transferred to another hospital Ceiling, this problem itself has survived The plan concerns the development of public hospitals in all regions.There is a project of treatment of public hospitals amounting to 130 million dollars. Baalbek's share will be about $ 3 million, for the treatment of nclination of the room Ultrasound treatment and radiation equipment and emergency equipment. "

"We have an appointment in Baalbek on Wednesday, because there is an international organization that wants to make a donation to the city of Baalbek to create a new government hospital.It will be modern and we will work for that in all hospitals in Lebanon because Public hospitals are at the forefront of the country. "I'm not hiding from you that private hospitals have a big advantage over us. They have helped us through these long years and we have never been able to provide hospitalization to our population without the help of private hospitals. "

He concluded by saying: "As far as security in the region is concerned, we must speak about the face of the Baalbek civilization, a city of Baalbek over 4000 years old and containing the most important monuments in the world. Civilization of the oldest civilizations We must show the civilized face of Baalbek This hospital, God willing, and you transmit it to the benefit of the hospital sector.
