Chairman of the Milli Majlis Health Committee Ahliman Amiraslanov said while opening a scheduled online committee meeting on 8 April that its agenda comprised eight Bills containing amendments related to the string of acts pursuant to the presidential decree dated 20 December 2018 and aimed to ensure the implementation of compulsory medical insurance in the Azerbaijan Republic.

Informing the gathering of the six documents at issue, Head of the Social Legislation Department of the Milli Majlis Staff Adil Aliyev mentioned that they contained draft amendments to fifty laws put together. Several Bills lined up for enactment are concerned with the execution of the powers of TƏBİB subject to the already-mentioned presidential decree. Most of the draft amendments to as many as 131 legal articles envisage a clear division of the powers in health care and operation of treatment and prophylactic institutions between the appropriate central executive authority and the pertaining public legal entity regardless of the latter’s ownership type and form of incorporation. Hence, the terms ‘body’ and ‘the Health care bodies’ are to be replaced with the wording ‘the body (institution) assigned by the appropriate executive authority’; also, the expression ‘health care’ is to be replaced with the word ‘medicine’ throughout the Bill.

The Committee members Soltan Mammadov, Rashad Mahmudov, Sadagat Valiyeva, Malahat Ibrahimghizi, Kamila Aliyeva and Kamaladdin Gafarov voiced their ideas about the billed drafts.

In the end, the Committee members recommended that the documents listed below should be tabled for consideration at a plenum of the Milli Majlis:
