Desperate pleas echo from patients grappling with chronic and incurable illnesses as they express their struggles to access life-saving medications.

Amidst this crisis, how does the landscape appear following the Cabinet's endorsement of a three-month funding plan, allocating an equivalent of three trillion Lebanese pounds to revive the medication distribution process?

The Ministry of Health is committed to a systematic medication distribution as long as funding persists, with an inclusive approach that treats all patients equally. Caretaker Minister of Health Firas al-Abiad has specifically reassured patients with multiple sclerosis about the ample availability of medications.

With medications secured for the next three months, attention now turns to the awaited approval of the general budget. This budget is expected to allocate a specific sum for cancer and chronic disease medications, reaching approximately fourteen trillion Lebanese pounds annually
