Libyan Prime Minister Abdulhamid Dbeibah has launched a 100-day reform strategy aimed at restructuring the ountry’s troubled health sector, describing it as the most challenging ministry inherited by his Government.
The initiative, unveiled at a ceremony organised by the Health Ministry over the week-end, seeks to address what he characterised as decades of systemic decline.
The Prime Minister noted that the sector has grappled with entrenched structural weaknesses for more than 30 years, citing the absence of reliable data and chronic underperformance. He disclosed that between 80 and 90 per cent of Libyans had previously sought medical treatment abroad, underscoring
the depth of public distrust in domestic services.
Branded “100 Days for Reform Priorities”, the program aims to restructure service delivery and improve institutional performance. Dbeibah acknowledged that patients continue to face significant hardship and stressed the need for practical, time-bound interventions capable of restoring confidence and operational efficiency.
According to the Prime Minister’s media office, the reform drive will see the inauguration of 20 health facilities nationwide. These include the Medical Specialties Board, equipped with upgraded training halls and modern technology designed to strengthen specialist training and enhance the competencies of medical and support personnel.
