Tunisia, Tunisian clinics in Tunis, the capital, continue to refuse to receive and treat Libyan patients, on the pretext of not paying the debts owed to the clinics by the Libyan state.
Eyewitnesses of Libyan patients who are being treated at the expense of the Libyan state told the Libyan News Agency, in telephone calls, that the administrations of these clinics, which had sent them out earlier, stopped their treatment and dealt with them in a provocative manner without any regard for their difficult health conditions, refused to return them and continue their treatment, and refrained from dealing with them, or the letters addressed to them by the Libyan embassy in Tunisia, and stipulated the payment of the debts owed.
The witnesses explained that this sudden measure by the Tunisian sanatoriums included all patients in most of them who suffer from tumors, heart diseases, strokes, and others, and did not include the wounded dispatched at the expense of the Field Medicine Center and support for the center’s commitment to settling their financial procedures with the sanatoriums.
The Libyan patients appealed to the Libyan authorities, led by the Ministry of Health, to intervene quickly to solve this problem and consider their suffering, especially since among them are patients with tumors, heart diseases, and strokes that require superior medical care.
