He added, “This number was about $300 million before the collapse of the lira, and the number of treatment recipients was much less. Instead of superficial political talk, a sound health policy must be implemented.”
More than 60% of the Lebanese do not have any health coverage except what is provided by the Ministry of Health, whose hospitalization budget does not exceed $64 million. That number was about $300 million before the lira collapsed, and the number of treatment recipients was much lower. Instead of shallow political rhetoric, a sound health policy should be implemented.

He continued in another tweet, “About 1.5 million Lebanese men and women benefit from the insurance and funds, but this does not provide full coverage, but rather an average of about 25% of the health bill according to the medical condition. As for the number of those who have private insurance, approximately 280,000 people, and this number is reduced because the cost of the policy became in cash.

Adra also pointed out, “Most of the Lebanese University students have not completed the prescribed subjects for the academic year, and the academic year is nearing its end. This is due to the financial situation of the professors, strikes, and the failure to consider the fate of the Lebanese University a priority. Instead of superficial political talk, let us focus on a sound educational policy.”
