1500 diabetic children from 0 to 18 years old will receive free diabetes strips, starting this Tuesday.

For this procedure, patients will have to present once in six months to the family doctor for the recommendation.

“We made it easier for their families, who spent 10,000 ALL a month, or 120,000 ALL a year”, said the Health Minister Ogerta Manastirliu.

Doctors who follow these children say that the situation will be under control, but they add that the glucose-measuring appliance should also be free.

After children, grown-ups affected by diabetes also demand reimbursement, since the cost for some families is very high or it damages the entire economy.
