According to health sources, the team headed by the Assistant Undersecretary for Financial Affairs Al-Dulaimi is currently comparing data in the books issued by the health offices regarding patients’ debts with their passports to ensure they entered the country of treatment. It is also reviewing their travel decisions and extensions to ensure that the invoices received from these health offices are for patients, while maintaining the confidentiality of patients’ information.

The sources explained that the team is currently viewing the data of patients and their companions, and following up the claims process for debts that are owed by them as a result of increase in allocations. It is doing this in coordination with the Overseas Treatment Department in accordance with the relevant procedures.
