Member of the "Democratic Gathering" bloc, Deputy Wael Abou Faour on Sunday said that an effective and practical proposal by Health Minister had been prepared in a bid to put an end to the suffering of patients with cancer and other incurable diseases.

"As a result of the proposals by the Democratic Gathering and after the two meetings we held, Comrade Bilal Abdallah and I, with Prime Minister Mikati and Caretaker Public Health Minister Firas Abiad, an effective and practical proposal has been prepared which I am confident will put an end to the suffering of patients with cancer and other incurable diseases,” Abou Faour said following the Democratic Gathering's movement and meeting with Prime Minister Najib Mikati.

"The proposal ensures that the drug reaches the patient directly and relieves the state and the patient from all forms of exploitation, smuggling and trade," he noted.

Abou Faour thanked both the Prime Minister and the Health Minister for their positive response, leaving it up to Minister Abiad to announce the details of the plan to be put into effect after finalizing all its requirements.
