Nasser al-Din: Health Budget Insufficient — Haider on Social Protection
The article covered a developmental and service-oriented meeting in the city of Baalbek, hosted by Minister of Labor Mohammed Haidar, to discuss issues related to the health sector and social protection. Minister Haidar emphasized that the health ministry's budget is insufficient to meet all healthcare needs and highlighted the urgent need for approximately one billion dollars in funding to provide comprehensive coverage for all Lebanese citizens. Lebanon is expected to receive only a third of this amount in 2027. The meeting also discussed efforts to pass important laws such as the retirement and social protection law, as well as the appointment of a new board of directors for the National Social Security Fund, which is a vital step toward improving healthcare and social services, increasing coverage rates, and developing public hospitals. Official representatives expressed their commitment to enhancing healthcare services, securing proper funding, and strengthening cooperation among ministries and institutions, with the goal of improving the lives of citizens, especially in the Baalbek-Hermel region, which suffers from a lack of investment and development.
