Primary healthcare centre in Mykolaiv, photo by NikVestiAs of the end of March 2024, the reorganisation of the Centre for Socially Significant Diseases in Mykolaiv was almost completed. It will be merged with Primary Healthcare Centre №2 as an outpatient clinic.
This was announced by Iryna Shamrai, Head of the Health Department of Mykolaiv City Council, during a briefing on 28 March, according to NikVesti.
«This year we are completing the process of reorganising our Centre for Socially Significant Diseases, because, unfortunately, there is no funding for institutions that are separate. Especially those that are subordinated to municipal healthcare institutions.The process of reorganising the Centre for Socially Significant Diseases is almost complete. It has been attached as the eighth outpatient clinic to the Primary Healthcare Centre №2,» said Iryna Shamrai.
She also explained that after the reorganisation of the Centre for Socially Significant Diseases, children's doctors will work in city children's hospitals, and adult doctors will work in secondary healthcare facilities or Primary Healthcare Centre №2.
«We are not losing specialists. Children's specialists have moved to the Children's City Hospital and will continue to treat and monitor children. We have retained the adult specialists, they will work for us either in the secondary care or in the Primary Healthcare Centre №2. The reorganisation process is complicated. We have almost completed it and managed to keep our specialists,» said Iryna Shamrai.
In September 2024, it became known that the municipal non-profit enterprise Centre for Socially Significant Diseases in Mykolaiv was going to be reorganised. The institution decided to join the Primary Healthcare Centre №2 and create a general practice outpatient clinic.
This merger was explained by the fact that funding from the National Health Service of Ukraine for 2025 will not cover even 30% of the institution's salary needs. Up to 2 million hryvnias are spent annually on staff maintenance.
In September, the deputies decided to merge the institution with Primary Healthcare Centre №2.
