The Minister of Public Health in the caretaker government, Dr. Firas Al-Abyad, issued two decisions to increase the tariff for a dialysis session and a low-density lipoprotein (LDL-Apheresis) blood dialysis session, according to the following:
The fee for each dialysis treatment session for the hospital becomes: six million and ninety-three thousand Lebanese pounds (6,093,000) and for the doctor: eight hundred and ninety-six thousand pounds (896,000).
-The fee for a low-density lipoprotein (LDL-Apheresis) hemodialysis session for the hospital becomes: fifty-four million eight hundred and sixty-one thousand Lebanese pounds (54,861,000) and for the doctor: eight hundred and ninety-six thousand pounds (896,000); The Ministry of Public Health covers a session every three weeks, provided that the annual number of sessions does not exceed seventeen sessions.
These two decisions by the White Minister come as part of several steps that will be implemented successively, including changing hospitalization fees to make it less expensive for patients.
The Minister of Public Health, Dr. Al-Abyad, stressed in a statement: “Raising the tariffs for dialysis and blood dialysis aims primarily to stand by the patient in a way that does not incur any additional costs, whether from hospitals or treating doctors, at the risk of those responsible. The two decisions also secure the rights of hospitals and doctors in a manner that takes into account “The difficulty of the current financial circumstances and achieves justice.”
Dr. Al-Abyad stressed that “approval of the general budget will reflect more comprehensively on raising hospitalization fees in a way that reduces the additional burdens imposed on patients and contributes to achieving the strategy of the Ministry of Public Health in ensuring the resilience of the health and medical sector in Lebanon.”
