In Zhytomyr region, low-powered hospital in the regions will turn into effective institutions
analysis of the volume and quality of actual medical services should encourage communities to re-purposing low-power hospitals to provide their work in a single hospital district, and taking into account the principle of payment for specific medical services. This was stated by Deputy health Minister Pavlo Kovtonyuk. "We are moving into the system of economic law, when the state within the guaranteed package of medical services will serve the customer, and the clinic provider. Almost all hospitals are owned by communities, and therefore the content of their area of responsibility of local authorities. After the implementation of the reform of medical institution will receive a certain income, including from the National health service, and with this income it needs to provide funds for the maintenance. The tariffs for medical services will be such that all operating costs for the provision of services was provided. But in addition, society can also help in equipping hospitals or the purchase of necessary equipment", – said Pavlo Kovtonyuk. However, the government will order services only in a medical facility, where they will meet an appropriate baseline level of quality. In the case where the district hospital attended 10 births a month to order and pay will not be as specialty physicians may endanger the life of the mother and child. On the question of what fate awaits the hospital does not meet the requirements of the Ministry of health, which local authorities decide to keep the current status, Pavlo Kovtonyuk, said: "the Failure of the development plan of the hospital district does not affect the public order services. But it will affect the development of society, after all, investment in infrastructure should be directed to the network. Not every institution separately, and in the planned network, which is a complete cycle inpatient services. Therefore, those investments, which will allocate government and foreign investors, will be given only under the network. If a community does not support the creation of a network, it is from the budget itself will invest in the institution." The Deputy Minister also reminded that the state will pay for the service, not the bed, so small-capacity hospitals will have to convert to institutions providing those services for which there is a demand from society: health Centers, rehabilitation facilities, institutions for medical care, hospices, etc. This was reported in the Zhytomyr regional state administrationÏåðåâåäåíî ñåðâèñîì "ßíäåêñ.Ïåðåâîä÷èê": translate.yandex.ru.
