The annual national budget process in Guatemala determines funding for government operations and development projects across all regions. The commitment to regular disbursements to all 340 municipalities reflects ongoing efforts by authorities to ensure timely resource delivery for local governance and infrastructure. In addition, earmarking funds for comprehensive cancer care legislation and medical supplies addresses critical healthcare needs identified by public policy makers.
