In addition to the achieved results, public health care still faces some difficulties: The shortage of medical human resources has not been completely resolved; investment from the State budget for the health sector is still low; some medical units were built many years ago when the population was still small, so they are often overloaded, making it difficult to receive, treat and pay patients; medical equipment at some medical facilities has degraded and is still lacking; the quality of medical wastewater treatment is not high; information technology infrastructure is still weak...
