LESSONS FROM THE PANDEMIC: ENSURING THE ACCESSIBILITY AND CONTINUITY OF MEDICAL CARE
25 June, 15:00
We are starting to be able to analyze the challenges that the healthcare system is facing as a result of the coronavirus pandemic and the lessons that can be drawn from this.Having a stable functioning healthcare system is more important than ever in a crisis. For many types of patient, receiving the treatment required in a timely manner and getting hold of medication is critically important. Patients with cancer, cardiovascular diseases and endocrine disorders are among those in need of special consideration, given that they are at risk of getting seriously ill from coronavirus.
During the pandemic, swift and well-informed decisions have been taken to coordinate the circulation of medication at all levels – decisions which must be considered and taken in future. The enforced changes to how medical care can be administered has brought the need to take decisions on the provision of medical care via paramedical, hospital and home-based services, as well as via the high-quality reformed OMS system, into sharp focus.
What changes must be incorporated in the National Healthcare Project to build an effective medical treatment system following the pandemic? How do we ensure that people can easily get hold of the medicines they need? Why is it important to ensure the continuity of medical care plans across hospitals and paramedical services? What opportunities are there to roll out essential medicines more expeditiously? Can we guarantee that imported medication will be transferred securely within the required time period? What should the state support package be so as to prevent a lack of medicine on the Russian market in the event of a pandemic?
