“Currently, the activities of (medical institutions – BNS) are limited by orders of the minister, the chief of operations; it must be made very clear that it is not the heads of the institutions or the doctors who are to blame, but rather those who have issued such regulations” . If they are not changed and an increase in speed is required, it is a requirement to violate the law, “Sudaris told BNS on Friday.
According to him, there are currently a number of laws in force that restrict the activities of medical institutions. Abandoning some of them would allow services to update more quickly.
“The intervals between patients could really be smaller, because the more, in summer, ventilation is, the path of the virus is not very acute, perhaps the requirements for the intervals between patients in hospitals should be reduced,” said the head of the association.
According to V. Sudaris, who runs the Pakruojis Hospital, if the government no longer pays 1/12 and finances the institutions according to the fact, the district hospitals will no longer be able to pay salaries to the employees.
“If we leave everything for the fact – the district hospitals salary fund is approximately 80 percent of income – in practice we will not be able to pay the salaries.” This is a direct collapse of the system: we will not be able to survive, “said the head of the association.
According to him, at the Pakruojis hospital, about 60 percent of the patients were renewed within two weeks after the end of the quarantine. inpatient services and less than half of outpatient services.
“But because, like many districts, it did not allow consultants to come from other places, this is the main reason.” Our people worked in an orderly manner, but we limited it to 50 percent, because there was an order from the Minister and we feared exceed it, “said V. Sudaris.
“It just came to our attention then. We will have the July data in the first half of August,” he added.
Prime Minister Saulius Skvernelis announced Thursday that if medical institutions are hampered by the requirements of the ministry and other institutions, they should be abolished, especially if they are not relevant outside the quarantine period.
Ramūnas Karbauskis, the leader of the ruling “peasants”, declared on his Facebook account on Friday that he was ready to immediately start an extraordinary session of Seimas if the laws needed to be amended so that health care institutions could update services to the population as much as possible.
The Health Ministry announced Friday that if service interruptions persist until September 1, 1/12 of the payment may be waived to compensate for losses due to reduced service volumes, and a change may be made to the payment of the services actually provided.
Communicable disease control requirements for health centers are expected to be reviewed in the near future.
