During the meeting, guided by consensus among the relevant parties, Health Minister Firas Al-Hawari made the decision to form a committee. This committee, to be led by the Ministry of Health's Secretary-General for Administrative and Technical Affairs, will feature representatives from all pertinent stakeholders. Its principal mandate will encompass developing necessary recommendations that pertain to the seamless integration of the cooperative fund system for doctors, Khaberni reported.

A meticulous review of the charges structure
Furthermore, the committee will meticulously review the prevailing charges structure for doctors. This scrutiny is in preparation for official endorsement, a process designed to ensure adherence to foundational principles while harmonizing with the collective aspirations of all stakeholders. Additionally, the adjustments will align with the dynamic evolutions within the medical sector, particularly those dimensions that the present charges structure may not adequately address, particularly in relation to medical procedures.

In a notable accord, the Doctors Syndicate agreed to postpone the earlier decision to suspend new insured patient admissions, an action that had been initially slated for September 2. The suspension has been deferred until the committee concludes its deliberations, with a specified deadline set for December 2.
