The Prime Minister of the Government of National Unity, Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh, announced today the national program to dispense with treatment abroad, and “relying on our cadres, centers and capabilities, we will prioritize Libyan doctors abroad in the list of visitors to carry out operations”, according to him.
He said: “We have been depleted from the treatment operations abroad and the expenses that we carry out daily. Every month, “huge” sums come out for treatment abroad, and we will seek a qualitative change to make treatment inside the largest space through public or private centers and hospitals and visiting doctors.”
He continued by saying: “Most of those who are treated abroad are oncology patients, because of the lack of doses. It has been proven to us that these countries use third-class drugs and we are here to bring in our country the first class always. We need to “wake up” for ourselves, our capabilities, our centers and our patients. Our goal has always been to reduce patients traveling abroad.”
