The Health Minister, Ilir Beqaj, rejected the accusations of the
opposition for the free check-up bid that was offered to the Albanian
people.

Beqaj said that there are 900.000 people eligible for this free test, and the price for each person is 1537 ALL, including VAT. But the contractor is paid for only 475.000 of them a year, according to Beqaj.

The Minister underlines that the real cost is not as much as it has been mentioned, while the profit by identifying the diseases and saving people’s lives is huge.
