Media Review December 20, 2018
Indicators of the level of development of health care, the level of protection of property rights, and a look at prices in the oil market are the leading topics of today's media.
On the background of the recently opened Scientific Rehabilitation Research Institute of Medical Rehabilitation, the Azerbaijan newspaper writes about the state of health care in the country.
The article focuses on the state of hospitals and clinics, the construction of new hospitals and the repair of old ones left over from the Soviet era.
The author quotes President Ilham Aliyev expressing his concern for citizens and their health. Over 15 years, 650 medical institutions were built and fundamentally repaired, and in recent years over 5 million Azerbaijani citizens have undergone medical examination.
The website Oxu.az writes about the state of protection of rights to property of citizens. MP Fazil Mustafa argues that 70% of residents of new buildings do not have documents on the property. In addition, those who manage in new buildings, both want and regulate the prices for utilities. The MP suggests that the Tariff Council determine the maximum amount of utility costs.
The website Modern.az writes about the continuing fall in oil prices on world markets. Since December 18, Azeri Light oil, having fallen in price, has begun to cost 61.21 dollars.
MP Vahid Ahmedov believes that this factor will not greatly affect the adopted state budget for 2019, since the law "On the Budget System" was amended to ensure transfers from the State Oil Fund.
Currently, the price of oil is more a political, not an economic factor. Despite the decline in oil production, America continues to supply its oil to world markets. -0----
