Tunisia's Head of State Pledges Sweeping Health Sector Reforms
Tunisian President Kais Saied emphasized on December 3 the government's commitment to upholding the rights of doctors, paramedical staff, and healthcare workers. During a meeting with Health Minister Mustapha Ferjani at Carthage Palace, President Saied stated that the existing legal framework has led to an "unacceptable situation" for these professionals and the state, necessitating urgent reform.
The Head of State reiterated the critical need to work tirelessly towards restoring the public health sector, which he described as having been "severely undermined." He stressed that healthcare services must be universally accessible across all regions of the country, a move he believes will also create expanded opportunities for Tunisia's healthcare professionals, including doctors, paramedical staff, and support workers.
In a video shared on the Presidency's social media, Saied strongly condemned "charlatans and self-proclaimed experts," asserting that such individuals "only bring disorder and corruption, offering no room for reform." He characterized the ongoing efforts as a "liberation battle on all fronts," vowing to continue the fight to dismantle corrupt networks. President Saied declared that nothing less than victory would be accepted until the expectations of the Tunisian people are met across all regions and sectors.
The President also conveyed his deep appreciation for the entire medical, paramedical, and healthcare professional community, commending their expertise, unwavering dedication, and significant sacrifices. A statement from the Presidency further revealed that the meeting also covered the advancement of several ongoing hospital construction projects and the successful launch of a new remote diagnostic center. This innovative center allows patients to receive diagnoses and obtain prescriptions based on remote assessments, eliminating the need for hospital travel.
