Special attention is paid to the financial resources required to provide medical aid by health care facilities. Financing of medical institutions can be carried out at the expense of the state budget and local budgets, businesses and individuals, and other sources. Health care agreements will be concluded on the basis of cost and amount of health care services. The State or local governments will be the owner of the services, performer – hospital.

The law also states that medical care will be free of charge, and it will be provided by registered entrepreneurs who received a license for medical practice.
