Health "passes" the committee - Budget approved article by article. Opposition amendments for fund increase are defeated
The 2026 draft budget was discussed in the Parliamentary Committee on Health and Social Welfare, before being approved article by article.
The opposition, through two amendments, has requested an increase in the budget and a doubling of the medication reimbursement fund.
The amendments were rejected, while the Socialists argued that significant investments have been made in healthcare in recent years and another budget increase is impossible.
The Ministry of Health and Social Welfare receives the largest share of the 2026 budget, with approximately 82.5 billion lek in 2026, about 2 billion lek more than a year ago.
