Currently, such projects are financed exclusively with foreign funds. The provision of budget support will increase some people’s access to public health services, said the authors of the draft regulations.

If the regulations are approved, the projects will be selected by a contest held by the Ministry of Health. In the announcement about the call for proposals, there will be exhibited the selection criteria and the criteria for the documents that will be presented.

The financial support for the projects will be provided within the resources earmarked in the budget of the Ministry of Health.
