MSECs transfer unfinished cases of disability to expert commissions in medical institutions, - Liashko
Medical and social commissions will transfer disability cases that were not closed by January 1, 2025, to expert commissions in hospitals.
Health Minister Viktor Liashko said this at a briefing, Censor.NET reports citing Ukrinform.
Now we are transferring those cases that the MSECs do not have time to complete. They are being transferred to designated health care institutions, and there are more than 290 of them, with 1450 expert teams and more than 4 thousand doctors," Liashko said.
He noted that each MSEC is assigned to a medical institution, the cases are digitized and entered into an electronic system, which will further carry out all the processes for further assessment of a person's functioning.
"We have a register of cases, we know which cases have been transferred to where, an electronic queue is being formed, each medical institution will notify where the case is and when the hearing is scheduled. And there will be support for the hotline from January 1," explained the head of the Ministry of Health.
It is noted that currently there are 1.3 million cases in the archives of the MSEC, more than 40 thousand of which have already been transferred from the MSEC to medical institutions where expert teams will be operating to assess human functioning.
"A person does not need to worry that his or her case is lost somewhere, and there is no need to make an additional referral. The only exceptions are those cases when the case was accepted for the MSEC incomplete when some document is missing, then we have to return it to be finalized by the institution that formed it," added Deputy Minister of Health Mariia Karchevych.
