In the pediatric Hematology unit of the main children’s hospital country Hospital mass layoffs of doctors, nurses and even laboratory staff. Why is this happening, and do the Ministry the plan of salvation this Center, where the treatment of seriously ill children.
The reorganization of the Okhmadet: for what it is
The Ministry of health together with the hospital management Center in may of this year the reorganization of medical facilities. The main goal of improving the quality of services provided, as well as the fight against corruption.
The changes that occur in OKHMATDYT is to improve the existing structure, because some offices will have greater powers than they had before. First and foremost is the separation of bone marrow transplant (BMT).
In this process, the clinic also plans to create a large center for pediatric neurosurgery. First Deputy head of the Committee on health of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Oksana Korchynska assured that the reorganization of the Okhmadet it is a necessary step to achieve high quality and transparent medical assistance in the clinic.
These measures will prevent corruption schemes of the past, when hospital staff were raskazival medications and ordered an excessive amount of drugs.
What are the charges against the former leadership of the Department of marrow transplantation?
Once the internal check of the Ministry of health, which happened on 17 August, the head of the division of pediatric Hematology Oleg Rijeka fired. The reason for the dismissal in the systematic failure to perform their duties. In particular, according to the health Ministry, Oleh Ryzhak has not submitted orders for the purchase of medicines under National list of essential medicines. It is also stated that Mr. Ryzhak introduced parents into error regarding the availability of medicines in the warehouses of the hospital, forcing parents to buy drugs for their own money.
Deputy head of Department Svetlana Donskoy was invited to take the post of the doctor-a hematologist, instead of administrative work. But she refused, which was also dismissed.
Allegations of violations the leadership of the Department does not recognize. However, from the Centre for bone marrow transplant quit almost all doctors, nurses and even laboratory workers. Dismissed employees explain this act a gesture of solidarity and their disagreement with the terms of the reorganization that started by the Ministry of health and the hospital management.
The head of the Charity Fund of the Creel Nad Natalia Lipsky on his page in the social network responded to interview former head of the Center.
Reviewed interview with the former head of the center of TCM in OKHMATDYT (Kyiv) and seemed to finally understand what is the reason that the doctors decided to escape EN masse. The main motivation on the basis of this interview, it is disagreement with that in the BMT unit were conducting operations to children with immunodeficita. Doctors see this as a risk for children with cancer, and I can not agree with it. Everything seems logical, if not one but. Poland takes on BMT children plastiki, lakonikis, children with immunodeficite, and they are treated in the same boxes. Italy does the same even thalassemia. The Germans are the same. Something again does not converge. Can someone from those who in the subject, to comment on this moment? The reason for the dismissal of employees of the lab for me still incomprehensible.
Why the bone marrow transplant unit was the problem?
It is noteworthy that the clinic Okhmatdet 59 offices, and the reorganization applies to virtually everyone. However, in other departments and centers, the reorganization is progressing smoothly. Physicians who were in administrative positions, quietly moving to medical practice and agree to the terms of the Ministry of health and guidance clinics. Why is the bone marrow transplant unit was so problematic?
MP of Ukraine, Deputy head of the health Committee Oksana Korchynska says that the whole reason that the BMT unit receives the largest funding from the state. The assurance of the Deputy Lord Ryzhak and don for many years participated in the procurement of drugs, which constructed large corruption scheme.
The head of the NGO Platform of health and Deputy Chairman of the Public Council under the Ministry of health Timothy Badikov calls for an end to the persecution of doctors that are under pressure were forced to write their resignations.
We are all aware that the clinic is in need of restructuring, and particularly the Department of bone marrow transplantation, which has always been seen in corruption cases. Excess of medications without labels were sold on the black market and were colluding with big pharmaceutical industry. It has long had to stop, because to do dirty money in the lives of children the highest degree immoral behavior. Now hostages of the enormity of the situation became critically ill children and their parents who just don’t know how to proceed. The doctors, which I’m sure under pressure I wrote a letter of resignation must return to save the children.
What does the Ministry of health
In connection with the current situation, the Ministry of health is taking the following steps:
- Work with doctors and nurses who have written the application on dismissal. For example, 6 out of 10 nurses have changed their point of view and decided to continue working in the Department.
- Clinic actively conducts interviews with candidates for vacant positions.
- The clinic coordinates the dates of the consultations with foreign doctors. At the request of the Ministry of health, experts from Estonia, Lithuania, Italy, USA and Canada agreed to assist.
- Laboratory studies will partially take care of other medical institutions of the country.
