He noted that when communicating with the heads of Latvian hospitals, one can conclude that the situation has not changed, but there are industries that suffer more, for example, those hospitals that provide assistance during childbirth, as they are losing money because the range of unprofitable activities is increasing and unpaid services.
In response to the fact that the Ministry of Health submitted for approval a draft resolution that provides for the redistribution of 25.6 million euros to ensure the continuity of medical services in hospital emergency departments from May 1, 2024, Kaleis replied that the money has not yet been received, it is expected that Comments will be provided in connection with this project today.
“LOB’s objections may seem unfounded to the Ministry of Health because they take more into account financial circulation, and we base our arguments more on patient flow and patient care,” explained Kaleis.
LETA has already written that the information report on the development of the hospital network includes information on measures planned by the Ministry of Health to improve inpatient medical care, including in the field of emergency medical care. The requirements for the profiles of hospital activities and their levels are also updated, cooperation networks of regional hospitals are outlined and the principles of their work are determined, as well as the creation and management of methodological centers that will ensure systematic quality control of medical processes in the country.
