Diabetic patients can hardly afford the free medicines given to them by the government. Sometimes they can’t find it at all.
At the same time, they also complain about long queues at medical institutions to get medicines.
Sahib Sadigov, a 72-year-old resident of the capital, said that the amount of medicines supplied has decreased over the past 3 years.
S. Sadigov also complains about long queues.
Tutu Hasanova, a 65-year-old resident of Zardab, says she has not been given her medication for two or three months.
But what is the reason that makes patients desperate?
According to Zamira Adilova, head of the Department of Public Relations and Communication of the Union of Management of Territorial Medical Departments (TABIB), the list and amount of annual medical assistance provided to patients with diabetes are regulated by the corresponding decision of the Cabinet of Ministers . Medications are provided every month according to the list.
Z. Adilova also said that due to the increasing number of diabetics in the country, proposals have been made for the corresponding decision of the Council of Ministers and this is aimed at improving medical services provided to diabetics. The fact is that the official of the institution did not provide any information about what the promising proposals are and when they will be implemented.
