September 10, 2026

The process of reviewing the horizontal restrictions in the General Healthcare System is ongoing. Personal doctors have sent a list of restrictions to the OAY that are problematic and need revision. These restrictions cause inconvenience to patients, leading to unnecessary visits to specialists. The president of the Scientific Society of Family Doctors mentioned that these restrictions mainly affect individuals with chronic conditions and the elderly. The OAY appears open to considering changes to these restrictions.
