Possible Problems in the Introduction in Ukraine of Medical Reform and the Practice of a Family Medicine Doctor

Abstract

Currently, Ukraine is developing and phased implementation of medical reform, which involves the organization of work at the primary level of providing qualified medical help by a family medicine doctor.

This reform can be accompanied by the development of possible medical and social and financial problems.

The transfer of funding to the primary medical level and the possibility of allocating funds allocated to a specific number of residents assigned to a family medicine doctor can lead to the following problems:

1.       The examination of patients only by a family medicine doctor in order to save the allocated financial resources and not performing complex laboratory and modern apparatus-instrumental additional researchers can lead to the establishment of an incorrect diagnosis, which will lead to the choice of the wrong treatment tactic and to the patient's serious condition, and in some cases and to death.

2.       Treatment of patients only by a family medicine physician in order to save allocated financial resources and failing to consult with related specialists at the second and third levels of medical care, delay in hospitalization of patients to the hospital, may lead to the establishment of an incorrect diagnosis and the choice of the wrong treatment tactics, to a serious condition the patient, and to his death.

It is necessary to develop serious control conditions that will avoid the development of these problems when introducing medical reform in Ukraine.
