The implementation of the second stage of medical reform in Ukraine, which started on April 1, may be suspended due to the country’s lack of preparation for it.
This was reported by the telegram channel “Country Policy” with reference to a source in the Ministry of Health.
“There is a general opinion in the government that the country is in their favor (medreform – Ed.) is not ready. While discussing this work scheme, suspend its operation and start from the new year, “the source quoted in the message.
Note that indirectly these words were confirmed in your video message by Vladimir Zelensky. In particular, he asked the Ministry of Health and the head of the Rada profile committee to find a solution.
“Due to the new funding mechanism, up to 50,000 doctors can be laid off and 332 hospitals in Ukraine closed,” Zelensky said. In addition, he said, almost 1,000 hospitals will receive much less funding than last year.
“Emergency medical care, multidisciplinary hospitals, cancer centers, veteran hospitals, most children’s hospitals, tuberculosis and psychiatric services were at stake,” Zelensky said.
“Under the new mechanism, some hospitals will have enough money, except for the door lock and a poster,” we closed. Wait Good luck. “” We do not need to reduce the reform, but correct it, “added the president.
Recall that after the introduction of the second stage of medical reform in Ukraine, a wave of protests by health workers spread. In particular, the ambulance employees rebelled, who, instead of the promised subsidies, received miserable pamphlets of 200 to 1000 hryvnias.
Furthermore, psychiatrists in the capital began to seek support from the international community, saying that medical reform was killing Ukrainian psychiatry and that seriously ill patients would have to be expelled.
And at the Dnieper, the hospital’s director general started a hunger strike due to the fact that, under the new conditions, medical institutions have nothing to pay their employees.
