 Niger to Reduce Medical Fees by 50% Starting in September

The changes, effective September 1, will impact a range of services, including consultations, hospitalizations, and examinations, Sputnik reported.


The reform also includes significant measures to ease the burden on families: childbirth will now be free, and the 150,000 CFA franc ($256) lifetime fee for dialysis has been eliminated.
