MSh: There are no health insurance until the law is changed

According to Health Ministry spokesman Faik Hoti, this postponement came because the health insurance law was sent for completion of change.

Before the Government fell and the Parliament was disbanded, the health ministry had submitted the Law for Health Insurance to the Assembly for some minor changes, but which are important that the collection of premises for mandatory health insurance may begin. Thus, it is understandable that there will be a delay of the” process.

spokesperson Hoti told Kosovo Radio that it is still not known when the health insurance process will begin.

According to him, there were requests from business representatives and the Association of Patients' Rights for delaying the start of health insurance.

There were several demands from several nongovernmental organisations, from the American Economic Oda, by the Association for Patients' Rights, which demanded that the process be delayed for some time. They had some reservations about the process. While the decision on when the collection of premiums begins will be made by the new government”.

Besim Kadrija, from the Association for Patients' Rights, tells Radio Kosovo some of the reasons why this association had called for delaying the start of the health promise collection.

The law is highly flawed. A large range of administrative regulations and acts are missing, which help function this fund. All of this makes the uncertainty about collecting premiums for health insurance”.

Following the failure of even July as the start date of the premiere collection, the Health Ministry now warns that a new date will be set by the new government.
