The government intends to allocate around 487,1 million euros for healthcare next year.
According to the budget proposal that "Vijesti" has access to, that amount is about 35 million more than this year's budget, but also 38 million less than the figure requested by the recently dismissed director of the Health Insurance Fund (FZO), Vuk Kadić.
Allocations for healthcare in the coming year should amount to around 220,3 million euros. Around 79,5 million euros should be allocated for the operation of the largest healthcare institution, the Clinical Center of Montenegro (KCCG) (2,5 million more than this year), and 19,3 million for the clinical hospital centers in Berane and Kotor.
For health centers, around 50 million euros are planned, and for general and specialty hospitals a total of 49,5, which is less than in 2025.
Around 13,2 million will be allocated for emergency care, and five million for blood transfusions, and these figures are lower than this year's budget.
Around 140.000 euros are planned for the engagement of medical experts outside Montenegro, and around 104.000 for the transplantation program. Treatment of Montenegrin insured persons abroad should cost around 13,6 million euros, sick leave 9 million, and dental services 6,5 million.
For the activity of importing, purchasing, storing and distributing medicines, medical devices and equipment to public health institutions, "Montefarm" will be allocated around 180 million euros, around 33 million more than this year.
About 25 million euros should be allocated for private pharmacies that dispense prescription medications and medical supplies to citizens.
