MoH welcomes the audit report on the 2025 Annual Financial Statements

The Ministry of Health has welcomed the publication of the Audit Report on the Annual Financial Statements for 2025, prepared by the National Audit Office.

In a statement, the MoH emphasized that the report confirms the institution received an unmodified opinion on its Annual Financial Statements, meaning they present a fair view in all material respects and comply with the applicable standards and legislation. According to the same statement, the National Audit Office also assessed that, with the exception of the issues identified in the report, the transactions carried out during the execution of the Ministry of Health’s budget were conducted, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria established by the legislation in force.

The Ministry also responded to interpretations which, according to it, were partially presented during the day in media reports, underlining that the official report of the National Audit Office confirms the unmodified opinion on its Annual Financial Statements. The report also includes recommendations aimed at further advancing control, monitoring, and documentation processes in certain areas of financial and administrative management.

According to the MoH, the report highlights several areas where further improvements are needed in the management, monitoring, and documentation of certain administrative and operational processes. The Ministry stressed that all of the auditor’s findings and recommendations are being treated as a priority and that action will be taken to address them within the set deadlines.

The statement also emphasizes that during the 2025 audit it was found that all three recommendations issued by the National Audit Office for the previous year were fully implemented by the Ministry of Health, demonstrating the institution’s commitment to strengthening internal control, increasing transparency, and advancing accountability.

The Ministry of Health says it remains committed to the continuous improvement of financial and administrative management processes, with the aim of providing the highest quality services possible to citizens and ensuring the most responsible use possible of public funds.
