They also expressed their conviction that reform will require a broad consensus and progressive and careful planning. By the end of February, the Ministry will thus prepare two draft laws, i.e. the Health Services Act and the Health Care and Health Insurance Act.

 

In the area of health reform, Prime Minister Pahor expects an in-depth professional discussion, as this is the only way to provide the required support for the proposed laws in the National Assembly.
