MP Neemat Frem considered that poor governance in the Lebanese economy, waste and random subsidies are the black hole that swallowed up all sectors, particularly the education and hospital sectors, i.e. Lebanon’s DNA.

“If they are not rescued, we will reach a genetic mutation,” he said, stressing that “we will be on the lookout and will not allow collapse to happen.”

Frem’s words came during a seminar organized by “Project Watan” at its headquarters in Dbayeh, to which stakeholders in the hospital and nursing sectors were invited in preparation for presenting the last phase of its health card project.

“Any rescue plan we will implement in the government or parliament must be based on restoring the financial balance that includes all state institutions such as telecommunications, electricity and others, in order to avoid further wasting what is left in the reserves of the Banque du Liban and to avoid any additional loss incurred by the Lebanese citizen,” he said.

Frem added that the state, in return, has to put in place a social and health protection system, so that the citizen obtains sustainable services that would ensure his resilience and support his steadfastness.

He stressed “the need to restructure the priority scale in citizen’s rights, and therefore in the targeted support required,” referring to a draft law that will be submitted to Parliament to approve the health card.
