In the Kemerovo region – health scandal. The chief doctor of the hospital. Belyaev Mikhail Likstanov found a way of prevention of infection among doctors. The method is very simple: infected – fired. However, in this case, the Prosecutor sided with physicians, and has cancelled the decision of the physician with the wording that only their office and CPS may impose such sanctions.
But the weather is not doing – across the country, doctors refuse to work in such conditions. About the experiences of physicians working with coronavirus patients, “MK” talked to President of the “League for the defence of doctors” Semyon Galperin.
Since the beginning of the pandemic in almost every region there was a scandal with doctors. The Rostov physicians reported that they pay about 70 rubles per night. To obtain insurance payments, doctors from St. Petersburg will need to get the “right” – only in the workplace, and not on the way to work. And in the case of death will have to prove that the cause was a coronavirus, not related diseases. At this time the hospital and then come reports of mass infection of doctors. And increasingly, physicians choose not to go to work.
– How do you assess the decision of the physician in the Kemerovo region. If there’s actually any explanation?
– Who have generally runs health care? People who are unable to work as doctors or didn’t want originally. They could be another challenge, enrichment, career and just getting a warm place. Often in medicine they know very little, and therefore can not properly build a health care system. They can only command, to threaten, to put pressure on their subordinates. I think there is a problem and psychological. Many tend to unconsciously understand their role and they have a negative attitude to a real doctor. Perhaps this way they are trying to increase its value.
are There any especially problematic areas?
– Almost everywhere the situation is quite complicated. Average salary of medical workers is quite low, and it promises to increase are not met. Like the President said, there seems to be a government resolution on additional payments to physicians, and then we all hear from regional officials that the relevant documents and not to rely on them no matter what. Promise that will ever pay, but promises – a thing unreliable. Execution of the may decrees of the famous eight years ago (to increase the salaries of health workers – ed.) still waiting. Then each officer come up with your own tricks to avoid paying. In St. Petersburg and several other regions felt that the need only pay for specific time spent with coronavirus b��particular. As this is the time to consider – is not clear. Any presidential or government decrees did not mention it. If the doctor dies, you still have to prove that she was infected on the job, not on the way to her. Trick official unlimited and cheat at any stage of this process.
Now doctors do not believe the promises and accept the decision to resign in order to protect yourself from all these attacks. We survived optimization, mass reduction, continuing prosecutions of health care providers. How all of this can we tolerate?
Why this situation?
– We see that the same people who destroyed health care, still sitting in their seats. They lead the regions are helpers and advisers the same people who have destroyed the system. Looking at it, other officials are also aware of their total impunity and the process continues. A fault turn out to be doctors. In conditions when the doctors refuse to work, it seems strange to communicate with them repressively.
the Medical officer is not accountable to doctors or patients. He is responsible only to its chief, the leadership of the region that appointed him. As a rule, officials need good reporting and cut the state money. A health problem exists in the country, because the money is simply stolen. This was the whole reform on the optimization of health. In the end declared that in the field of failure and who is responsible for this? Yes, like no one. Itself failed.
