Zelenskyy signs law on liquidation of MSEC from 1 January 2025
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has signed Law 4170-ІХ on the liquidation of the MSEC.
This was reported by the press service of the parliament, Censor.NET informs.
Thus, from 1 January 2025, expert commissions in cluster and supercluster hospitals will start working instead of the MSEC, which will conduct an assessment in accordance with the criteria of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.
"To prevent corruption, the commissions will selectively receive patients for consideration, but neither the patient nor the commission will know which doctor will review the issue.
The previously established statuses of persons with disabilities, as well as medical and social expertise for children, will remain unchanged," the Verkhovna Rada added.
