Coupon system not to be cancelled in Belarusian polyclinics

Coupon system in Belarusian polyclinics is not going to be cancelled. The deputy head of the medical assistance department of the Ministry of Healthcare Lyudmila Zhylevich has claimed it in an interview with BelTA. In her opinion, it is impossible to cancel the coupon system in polyclinics when they lack staff. At the same time, the Ministry will continue trying to modernize the system to make it more convenient for patients. It is possible to order coupons on the Internet now and multichannel communication phones have been installed at receptions.

The number of Belarusian’s visits to medical institutions is increasing every year. For example, the index was 12.9 times a year per one citizen last year and 12.7 – in 2007.
