It is difficult to enumerate the achievements of Health Minister Ghassan Hasbani, who belongs to the Lebanese Forces Party. The researcher is in the corridors of the ministry and outside where he starts, as it is not reducing the financial ceilings of government hospitals in return for raising the private one of the only achievement and not cut some medicines for incurable diseases and allow pharmacists to increase the price of daily medicine, most notably. This is an inventory of the achievements of the minister of forces in his ministry
For more than a week, Health Minister Ghassan Hasbani succeeded in postponing a major drug crisis that would have caused a health disaster for patients suffering from incurable diseases after a large number of these drugs were cut for a month. He warned against paying corporate dues in 2017 unless he received a payment of new drugs, forcing them to comply with the ministers request. But the longer the formation of the government, the longer the crisis of the minister of forces, which is unable to secure the necessary funds from the budget reserves. In no case can the companies continue to deliver the drugs without direct proceeds, especially since they have not yet received any of the dues of last year. How, then, does religion accumulate above religion?
A major health crisis looms on the horizon of Hasbani, mainly due to poor management of the ministry. Last years debt, which exceeded 80 billion liras, is based on the new debts due to the disbursement of the entire drug budget (158 billion liras), which will soon reach 100 billion liras, according to the sources. "Hasbanis threat not to pay the debts of the pharmaceutical companies owed by his ministry since last year," will not force us in the coming days to hand over additional payments because our companies will also enter the deficit. " This may lead to the interruption of dozens of medicines for chronic and intractable diseases that are very necessary to keep the patients condition stable.
The ISF can support Hasbani instead of scrutinizing the behavior of its "clean and transparent" minister, but does this mean that his "achievements" were under the guidance and cover of his party leadership? The director of the office of the Minister of Health (AH), who is not responsible for her appointment because she belongs to the group working in Maarab, was arrested by the state security agents about 10 hours ago for a period of 10 hours and one of her employees is named AS. They were investigated for "selling drugs illegally". Later, they were released, but AS was prevented from entering the ministry to work in the ministers office (former Minister of Health Wael Abu Faour prevented him from entering the ministry for similar reasons). As for the file of the contracting doctors, there is nothing wrong:
The replacement of the physician who specializes in hepatitis C is Antoine Abi Rashed, who has been responsible for this file in the ministry for many years with a less experienced doctor from the Geagea family.
Hasbani delivered a file to monitor the hospitals to the insurance companies (TPA) instead of the doctors of the ministry.
Dozens of contracted doctors have been placed without work, but their salaries are still valid on the day-to-day basis of the state. Instead of finding a solution to the problem of surplus unemployed doctors in the ministry, Hasbani saw the burden increase by hiring new doctors "most of them in the orbit of the forces." It was not a week before they were appointed heads of departments in the districts where the doctors Aounis and non-Aounis. If the intention was only to change the doctors, the minister would resort to the doctors of the ministry instead of the use of doctors from abroad and increase the expenses of his ministry of indebtedness. In the northern Metn, Antoine Habashi was appointed in place of Michel Khoury, in Batroun, Wissam Saada was replaced by Johnny Ibrahim, and in Zahle Nabil Terchichi instead of Walid Abdou. Jawad Harb was also transferred from Batroun to Tripoli and Bishara Eid was appointed a district doctor in Tripoli.
The Ministry of Health contracted with 75 health supervisors for one year as part of the campaign of Minister Wael Abu Faour for food safety by a decision of the Council of Ministers. After the end of the period, Hasbani returned to the contract with 75 others without reference to the Council of Ministers, while some of them were recruited in violation of the law, which determines the authorization to practice the profession of health observer and requires him to have a university degree in food or food safety or equivalent, Contracts obligate the Ministry to register employees in the security even if their contracts are temporary and may be revoked at any time. However, health sent two of its users (GG) and (AH) at its expense to participate in a training course in China, while it was better to develop the capabilities of staff in the ministry. According to the information, a large portion of the "service procurement contracts" were conducted by the Ministry with observers, either from the Party of Forces or from supporters, some of whom had precedents such as the observer. ), Who was jailed for three years for selling health certificates and stealing seals, was replaced. Similarly, the Ministry of Labor (LR) employed close to one of the forces candidates as health control over the age of 50, although the terms of the contract oblige the ministry to persons under 44 years of age to serve 20 years in the public administration. LR also held the position of head of the Public Institutions Oversight Department, in contravention of the law, which stipulates that the post should be held by an administrator, not by a technical doctor. The functions of this function include access to and monitoring of all records of government hospitals.
Sources in the ministry indicate that the recruitment and contracting discretion extends to the annual bonuses that are "distributed without serious evaluation of the employees by their superiors." Except that "the 2018 bonuses distributed from 2017 benefited some employees who did not do any work this year." The sources added that the decision to distribute the bonuses took «partisan character and objected to the heads of departments and sections in the ministry. But they were forced to register the decision and send it to the Ministry of Finance under the pretext of breaking contracts with them if they refused to obey orders.
Two or more years ago, a decision was issued to prevent government hospitals from entering into contracts to purchase staff services without reference to the Civil Service Council. Except in one case, the use of nurses because the number in these hospitals is not enough. However, government hospitals during the period of the minister of the forces are conducting random contracts as they wish without reference to the Civil Service Council.
One of the successful candidates in the civil service game (Mohammed Dabousi) was dismissed as an accountant at the owner of the Sidon Governmental Hospital and agreed to "buy services" for another person for unknown reasons.
Unlike the law, he is not a member of the second and third categories, as the law requires for this position. He is only an employee contracted by the ministry. Secondly, because he is from the western Bekaa and not from Tripoli where the hospital is located. . By the way, Mohammed Jarrah is a relative of Minister of Communications Jamal Jarrah.
It is the duty of any active minister to initiate a price survey for new drugs or tenders to reduce the price of medicine as much as possible. In this context, the last tender and survey of prices took place during the reign of Wael Abu Faour, while Hasbani preoccupied with the "fight against corruption" prevented it. The price of medicine, which Hasbani bragged about as a personal achievement, is only the result of the low euro price in the countries of origin. It should be noted here that the completion of the minister of forces is almost the only one in the file of medicines, except for the interruption of medicines for intractable diseases and allow pharmacists to increase the amount of 750 pounds on daily pain medication, which is less than 23 thousand pounds, buy the medicine hepatitis virus or "hepatitis c" The pharmaceutical companies that inform the existence of some of their partners from the Party of Forces; despite the fact that this company did not enter the tenders offered during the Abu Faour era because they do not meet the requirements. |
