President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky instructed <\/span><\/span>the Government <\/span><\/span>to develop a <\/span><\/span>health i<\/span><\/span>nsurance<\/span><\/span> model of <\/span><\/span>health care<\/span><\/span>, the introduction of which was <\/span><\/span>promised <\/span><\/span>in his election program. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to the <\/span><\/span>orders given by<\/span><\/span> the President, the Law on <\/strong><\/span><\/span>Health <\/span><\/span><\/strong>Insurance<\/span><\/span><\/strong> should be adopted in <\/strong> 2021 <\/strong><\/span><\/span> in Ukraine,<\/span><\/span> and<\/span><\/span> the <\/span><\/span>social Health I<\/strong><\/span><\/span>nsurance  <\/span><\/span><\/strong>Model<\/span><\/span><\/strong> should be launched in 2023.<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span><\/span> deadlines for<\/span><\/span> the above instructions was confirmed by the Chairman of the Committee on <\/strong><\/span><\/span>People\u2019s <\/span><\/span><\/strong>Health, <\/span><\/span><\/strong>Health<\/span><\/span><\/strong> <\/strong>Car<\/span><\/span><\/strong>e and <\/span><\/span><\/strong>Health<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Insurance<\/span><\/span><\/strong> Mikhail Radutsky. Now this Committee and the Ministry of Health<\/span><\/span>care<\/span><\/span> are examining the insurance <\/span><\/span><\/strong>model<\/span><\/span><\/strong>s<\/span><\/span><\/strong> that exist in other countries <\/span><\/span>across <\/span><\/span>the world.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“The closest model for Ukraine is the one that operates in the Netherlands and Israel, when the state and the citizen are equally responsible for <\/span><\/span>people\u2019s <\/span><\/span>health. We are talking about the <\/span><\/span>case when<\/span><\/span> the state finance<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span> the so-called guaranteed package<\/strong>, which includes emergency medical care, psychiatric, tuberculosis<\/span><\/span> care<\/span><\/span>, treatment of infectious diseases, heart attack<\/span><\/span>s<\/span><\/span>, stroke, <\/span><\/span>cancer<\/span><\/span>. In this package, the patient does not pay for anything, “- said Radutsky. He added that \u201cthe person will pay for other services that are not included in the basic package.<\/strong> For example, these are dental prosthetics, elective surgery that is not life-threatening, additional examinations, or more comfortable conditions for hospital stay. <\/span><\/span>For t<\/span><\/span>hese additional services a person <\/span><\/span>should be able to<\/span><\/span> pay<\/span><\/span> through voluntary insurance, or supplementary insurance. The basic package is paid by the state, and the extended insurance coverage<\/span><\/span> can <\/span><\/span>be purchased <\/span><\/span>in addition from insurance companies on their own<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span>“<\/span><\/span> said Mr <\/span><\/span>Radutsky<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

According to the politician, \u201cNow there are two problems in the implementation of <\/strong><\/span><\/span>a health <\/span><\/span><\/strong>insurance <\/span><\/span><\/strong>reform <\/span><\/span><\/strong>in Ukraine. First is <\/span><\/span>the <\/span><\/span>legislation. This law is <\/span><\/span>going to be extensive<\/span><\/span> and should not be adopted in a hurry. Second is the practice of receiving salaries in “envelopes”, <\/span><\/span>for <\/span><\/span>which taxes are not paid. Therefore, the introduction of a <\/span><\/span>health <\/span><\/span>insurance <\/strong>system is possible when we bring at least 70% of salaries out of the shadow”<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>summed up <\/span><\/span>C<\/span><\/span>hairman Radutsky.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
