"New Unity" in its program for the upcoming elections to the Saeima will propose to merge the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Welfare, said Health Minister Hosam Abu Meri in an interview with Latvian Television's "Morning Panorama".
Abu Meri noted that he does not see healthcare separately from the sphere of welfare and social policy. In his opinion, these areas should be combined.
"We have started to live longer, but we have more problems and diseases. Therefore, the social component should go hand in hand with the healthcare sector," emphasized the minister.
