The Ministry of Health has launched an urgent public consultation on a draft regulation introducing County Health Centers, designed to provide emergency care in regions located over 30 kilometers from hospitals. <\/p>\n

Strategy for Underserved Regions<\/h4>\n

The Ministry of Health has proposed a new model to ensure patient safety in areas lacking hospitals where the distance to the nearest facility exceeds 30 kilometers. These County Health Centers are intended to bridge gaps in the emergency medical system.<\/p>\n

Scope of Medical Services<\/h4>\n

County Health Centers will be established in districts that meet the specific distance and accessibility criteria. Their primary task is to provide immediate assistance to patients experiencing sudden health emergencies.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Health states that these centers will provide basic surgical assistance, specialist consultations, patient monitoring, and diagnostics. They will also facilitate transport if a patient requires further hospital treatment.<\/p>\n

Operational Standards and Consultation<\/h4>\n

In terms of organization and facilities, these centers will be modeled after hospital emergency wards. This organizational approach received a positive recommendation from the President of the Agency for Health Technology Assessment and Tariff System on June 1, 2026.<\/p>\n

The draft regulation has been sent for public consultation. Interested parties and industry institutions have a 10-day period to submit comments and proposed amendments regarding the new provisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
