The present state budget project for 2023 does not meet the funding amounts outlined for public health priorities listed last year, admits Latvian Minister of Health L\u012bga Me\u0146\u0123elsone.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”TO BE EDITED – TEXT OF THE NEWS – Click on the WHEEL icon to open the textarea where you can paste or type your news.

All this goes hand in hand with necessary improvements in management, efficiency and accessibility. However, this year\u2019s budget plan does not meet the financing goals that were voiced for the needs of the public health sector last year.<\/p>\n The Ministry of Health and professionals of this sector and NGOs continue working on necessary improvements for this sector. They are also actively working to secure necessary funding for public health and security, said Me\u0146\u0123elsone.<\/p>\n Minister of Finance Arvils A\u0161eradens mentioned at a press-conference that followed the government meeting that the discussion was about whether what is listed in the government declaration is implemented, specifically if funding for healthcare could reach 12% of total expenditures. A\u0161eradens said his party believes this is not the case.<\/p>\n The ministers agreed that if funding is found, the government will discuss where they should go base on priorities outlined in the government declaration.<\/p>\n
