Healthcare facilities in the forefront communities to receive extra monetary support

Healthcare facilities in the forefront communities to receive extra monetary support - according to Lyashko

The Congress of Local and Regional Authorities recently focused on the support of frontline regions, with Minister of Health Viktor Lyashko discussing medical, rehabilitation, and psychological assistance for those released from captivity. However, the specific issue of medical care for these individuals was not the main focus of the congress.

Assistance is provided by 80 institutions in 22 regions, with staff having undergone special training at the National Health Service Academy to treat patients who have suffered captivity and torture. The exact names and detailed descriptions of these facilities, along with specifics about their special training, were not found in the search results.

In a move to ensure stable funding for healthcare even in cases of evacuation, shelling, or infrastructure damage, the government has abolished discount coefficients for primary care in combat zones. For emergency care, coefficients ranging from 1.48 in potential combat zones to 6.01 in active combat zones will be used. Additionally, for primary care in villages and remote areas, a coefficient of 1.2 (20% more funding) will be applied.

However, it remains unclear if these coefficients apply to the treatment of those released from captivity. The government has not specified whether the abolished discount coefficients for primary care in combat zones apply to this specific group, nor has it made any separate announcements or allocations for their medical, rehabilitation, and psychological care.

The treatment algorithm for these individuals includes an initial examination, comprehensive testing, an individual treatment plan, and the possibility of sanatorium recovery. Furthermore, additional payments will be allocated for healthcare institutions operating in low-density population areas and active combat zones.

The last hospital in Konstantinovka, Donetsk region, has ceased operations due to daily Russian shelling and a shortage of doctors, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced in providing healthcare services in these regions.

The announcement regarding the additional funding for healthcare facilities was made on Facebook following the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities. The government's commitment to supporting frontline regions is evident, but questions remain about the specific care for those who have been released from captivity.
