Free care cards suspended
Social Affairs Minister Issam al-Ahmar said that free-treatment cards had been temporarily suspended, not withdrawn, pending verification that beneficiaries were eligible under the law. Audits had found that 17% of grant recipients held diplomas, and that the files of many of them had not been submitted to the relevant committee. He noted that around 25,000 Tunisians had used the cards during the current year, compared with an initial estimate of 10,000 per year. Under Circular No. 6, issued on 10 July 2026, cards may be granted to people with urgent medical needs without waiting for the committee, with their files to be regularized later. The measures are also intended to address problems with the allocation of cards and broaden access to them.
