Government asks for help in developing public health sector

The Azerbaijan government has asked international financial institutions for assistance needed to develop the country’s public health sector. According to the minister for economic development Farhad Aliyev, preliminary talks have been held with several organizations. He said the means being earned by self-sufficient public health institutions are far not enough to ensure comprehensive development of the sector. The minister added that next year more funds would be allotted to the public health sector from the state budget.*
