We will no longer have to hold fundraisers to pay our hospital bills,” said the Hussein.According to his observation, the government is able to import medical equipment that will ensure people are treated locally at a lower cost.He added, "Majority of diseases that we go to seek treatment for outside the country can be treated in our local private hospitals at the same cost as outside county, so you do not have to incur extra transport costs going abroad, you just need a health insurance.”
