Health "shrinks" further, funds are cut by 3 million euros

The changes in the budget for 2024, if the majority of the increase in funds was allocated to roads, the opposite has happened with health.

According to the latest changes published in the Official Journal, the budget of the Ministry of Health was reduced by about 3 million euros, but the funds for the primary service were reduced by about 5.6 million euros, while the funding for planning and administration increased by 660 thousand euros.

It was Prime Minister Edi Rama himself yesterday who participated in the inauguration of the center for the daily treatment of chronic diseases near QSUNT, describing it as a great opportunity for these patients. But if the building is new, the budget says quite the opposite in terms of the possibility of treatment.

Data on health indicators indicate that chronic diseases are increasing rapidly, while funds for the reimbursement of medications are not sufficient.

In mid-2023, the government increased the budget for medication reimbursement to 12 billion ALL from 11.4 billion ALL, which was at the beginning of the year, but even these were not enough and arrears have been generated.

At the end of 2023, from the list-indicators accepted for the reimbursement of drugs and equipment, about ALL 796 million remained unpaid. Compared to the previous year, the year-end liabilities increased by 5.8%, or for the value of 673 million ALL, declares FSDKSH.

An aging population is increasing chronic diseases and is also creating a need for greater health funding.

According to official data from the Compulsory Insurance Fund, chronic diseases increased reimbursement expenses by 227.7 million, about 6% more than the previous year.

In 2023, the group "Pensioner without term" recorded an increase of 441.1 million ALL more than the previous year or about 78.2% of the total increase in expenses.

According to official data from the Compulsory Health Care Insurance Fund, the increase in reimbursement expenses in 2023, compared to the previous year, was due to treatment with therapy with higher medication costs for patients.

All diseases with a high incidence in the population such as Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension, etc., which have been directly affected by the consequences of Covid-19, have also affected this cause.

When these disturbing data speak of an increase in morbidity, the intervention in the reduction of funds for Health remains worrying and problematic. Indeed, in the historical course of budget reviews over the years, health has most often been cut again. / VoxNews
