This law comes after a long period of discussions; the challenges of our healthcare system have been carefully analyzed, and international practices have been studied in order to create a law that responds to the needs of our citizens and is applicable to our economic and social reality. After more than 10 years, this draft law represents an important step toward creating a sustainable and inclusive health insurance system.”
