Head of Private Hospitals Owners Syndicate, Suleiman Haroun, indicated that “the current tariff, forces hospitals to charge the patient the variances, which have become exorbitant, and I had previously warned that hospitalization would only be for the wealthy.”

He said via a radio interview: “We are heading towards a health disaster within two weeks, if the fuel subsidy is lifted, and even the rich will be unable to get hospitalized, and it has been reported that the import of medical supplies has stopped.”
