News appears on compulsory insurance - Statement of Department Director

14:10 - 3.10.2019


October 3, Fineko/abc.az. Quite a new system is being introduced in the public health sector of Azerbaijan. 

Vugar Gurbanov, the department director at the State Agency for Compulsory Health Insurance, said in TV channel ITV’s broadcast Diqqət Mərkəzi – Yekun (Spotlight - End Result). Gurbanov noted that after the introduction of the system, the health sector will be financed not only from the State Budget.

He pointed out that this system is a new model of financing in the healthcare system. 

"The public health system used to be financed only from the State Budget. But with the use of compulsory insurance, medical institutions will already receive funds from both the Agency for Compulsory Health Insurance and other insurance companies and other cooperative clients, and in case the insurance guarantees are not received – from citizens themselves. 
It is also an important factor for expanding the range of services rendered by medical institutions and improving the quality of services. The chief thing here is the readiness of medical institutions for this work. As you know, since 2019 the Compulsory Health Insurance Agency has conducted preparations for compulsory health insurance. During this period, the Agency has taken the necessary measures both in the districts of the country and in the city of Baku for the application of compulsory health insurance."
