MP talks introduction of mandatory health insurance throughout Azerbaijan

Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 27

By Anvar Mammadov – Trend:

Introduction of mandatory health insurance throughout Azerbaijan may start in 2019, MP Musa Guliyev told reporters in Baku Nov. 27.

Experience of foreign countries shows that it usually takes several years to fully introduce mandatory health insurance, said Guliyev.

“I believe the first year of introduction of mandatory health insurance in Azerbaijan was successful,” Guliyev said. “The results of the pilot project in the city of Mingachevir and Yevlakh district of Azerbaijan satisfy us. Next year, the scope of the pilot project will expand.”

“It is planned to make additions and changes to the Law on Mandatory Health Insurance,” he added. “They will allow introducing mandatory health insurance throughout Azerbaijan. In addition, there are a number of issues that depend on the mandatory health insurance, for example, the creation of legislative basis for protecting patient rights.”

A pilot project for introduction of mandatory health insurance started in Azerbaijan's city of Mingachevir and Yevlakh district in late 2016.
