Ukraine is the fourth biggest country in the world in terms of number of hospital beds per capita, but quality of medical service is low, fixed assets are worn-out and equipment is outdated. It is the most clearly noticeable in regions. It has been suggested to solve this problem through hospital districts. Activities on their formation will continue till the end of 2017 and will take place in three stages. Borders of hospital districts will be formed, hospital council created and district development plan drawn up. The first stage is in progress at present. Changes are administered on national and local levels with participation of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, Ministry of Healthcare, local authorities and the public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Hospital district and council<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to the reforms plan, a hospital district will unite healthcare institutions within certain territory. This means the institutions that provide specialized medical care. A hospital district should include at least one multi-specialty intensive care hospital. Hospital districts envisage formation of hospital councils from representatives of districts, towns, amalgamated territorial communities and doctors \u2013 everyone responsible for development of their hospitals. Nevertheless, it will happen according to a certain pattern. A hospital council shall form a hospital district development plan to understand real workload. It will assign functions, directing flows to a hospital with doctors and equipment available. This also envisage improvement of transport system and roads on the territory of community \u2013 first of all those leading to hospitals. Then assessment of resources and investment needs will follow. \u201cA hospital district is an instrument of prioritization \u2013 it will show where investments should be made first of all, so that the community can feel the impact instantly in the form of medical care,\u201d said Pavlo Kovtoniuk, Deputy Minister of Health of Ukraine during discussion at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Borders of hospital districts will not coincide with administrative division, and a hospital district will have no center. \u201cPrinciples of a hospital district formation are as follows: it is a full set of institutions providing secondary level services <em>(specialized medical care \u2013 UCMC)<\/em>, population, potential patients that provide the required workload for each institution and the fact that by common sense people will seek medical help in their own hospital districts,\u201d explained Yuriy Hanushchak, director of NGO \u201cInstitute of territorial development\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Reform progress<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">14 regions submitted their projects at present. \u201cWe presented a project of five districts and started discussions. Then we travel around the entire Chernihiv region and talked [to local authorities]. As a result, a new number \u2013 seven \u2013 came out. Then we received requests from some areas who wanted to join more powerful districts. \u00a0We ended up with four powerful hospital districts and submitted proposals to the Ministry of Health,\u201d said Petro Harmash, Head of Public Health Department of Chernihiv regional State Administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WATCH IN ENGLISH The process of forming hospital districts is a part of the healthcare reform and decentralization reform.
