Tunisian economist Ridha Chkoundali has raised concerns about increasing difficulties in accessing healthcare for many citizens. He cites excessively high medication prices, significant delays in reimbursements from the National Health Insurance Fund (CNAM), and ongoing drug shortages as key issues. These problems are compounded by the recent elimination of payment facilities following cheque reform. Chkoundali suggests these factors are effectively putting healthcare on credit for Tunisians, making it less accessible. His assessment was shared via a Facebook post, highlighting growing anxieties about the state of healthcare in the country. The situation raises questions about affordability and equitable access to essential medical services.
