Notes
Mandatory Emergency Treatment by Private Hospitals: Private hospitals and health institutions will be required to admit and stabilize patients in life-threatening conditions for at least 48 hours, regardless of their financial status. The purpose is to stabilize the patient before they can be referred to a government health institution.
Treatment for Persons Under Arrest or Detention: All health institutions, whether state or private, will be obliged to provide treatment to individuals who are under arrest or detention. The cost of this treatment will be covered by the state, unless the person chooses to pay for it themselves.
Establishment of Complaints Procedures: All health institutions (state and private) must establish procedures for handling complaints and regularly inform their patients about these procedures.
Power to Impose Sanctions: The Permanent Secretary for Health and Child Care will be given the power to impose sanctions on health practitioners and health institutions that breach the Act or the guidelines issued under the proposed law. This includes the ability to lodge a complaint with the appropriate disciplinary authority for practitioners, or to institute proceedings to suspend or cancel an institution’s registration.
Alignment with the Constitution: The bill’s overall objective is to align the Medical Services Act with the Constitution, particularly the provisions that stipulate the right to health care for every citizen, regardless of their socio-economic standing.
