REMARKS

In June 2000, HI in collaboration with MOSALVY started a pilot project of cost recovery for higher- income patients, maintaining services free-of-charge for lower-income patients. This system has demonstrated itself to be a good solution towards the sustainability of the centre in the future. The centre is almost fully autonomous at technical and managerial levels. As such, following many years of intervention, HI will withdraw its presence by the end of 2001.
