“These decisions bring two key changes, including one for prevention—a vital need for all Albanians. For the first time, the age limit for the check-up service is gone. Now, every citizen aged 35 and older can get a free check-up”, stated Sala.

“For the first time, elderly people over 70 will be offered a free check-up beginning from September”, said the minister.

Sala said after the government meeting today that the state will take over check-up and dialysis services when their current private contracts end in September and November.

“These decisions directly affect citizens, both in the field of treatment and prevention,” the minister concluded. /e.i/a.f/p.s./
