In Libya
While the human resources for health planning, production and
management pose a considerable challenge in Libya, the gradual
reintegration of the country into the international economy is
leading to better availability of healthcare. The government
provides free healthcare to all citizens and has achieved high
coverage in most basic health areas. Furthermore, the government is
substantially increasing the development budget for health services,
and has already prepared clear-cut and comprehensive strategies for
HIV/AIDS and TB. Consequently, Libya is likely to be achieve goal 6
within the 2015 timeframe.(Human Development Report 2007/2008)
