  • Reforms in primary care and hospital networks are initiated, but issues like hospital debt persist.

Conclusions:

  • Increased health funding presents an opportunity to address significant health challenges and systemic imbalances.
  • Effective resource allocation and waste minimization are crucial for reform success.
