Speaking at a press conference announcing the
results of a study on waste in the Jordanian health sector, Tal said that the
percentage is likely to increase if wasting persists and no quick and
short-term and radical, long-term solutions are found, and if no radical,
long-term solutions are found.
The study
prepared by the group provides a stark example of the scale of waste of
Jordan’s financial resources, attributed to several reasons, at the forefront
of which is the fragmentation of the health sector, which also deprives
citizens of the health services they deserve.
Waste is also the reason for the unjust provision of
health care to citizens, often benefiting those who do not pay far more than
those who do, said Tal, adding that all this is caused by “the absence of
oversight lack and seriousness, and above all, of the rule of law”.
According to Tal, the paper on waste in the health sector
“stems from the keenness of the Amman Group for Future Dialogues to implement
His Majesty King Abdullah’s directive to enshrine the principle of
transparency, in order to address shortcomings.
