Guntis Belevics.

The president will have a meeting with the minister next week, March 26. During the meeting, the president expects to hear the minister's plan on how to achieve this vision. The president wants to know the planned tasks aimed at fixing the current healthcare system, given the comparatively "modest" increase in funding for healthcare.

 

Berzins believes that this vision is aggressive and implausible, as no "cure-all" has been found.

 

This is why the state must do everything in its power for the children in Latvia to be healthy.
