A draft description of the order of concluding contracts between Territorial Patents’ Fund and healthcare institutions is basically defective and runs counter to provisions laid down in the Government Programme, the Law on Competition and the Law on Patient’s Rights and Compensation for Damage to Patient’s Health. In addition, it consolidates the license of patents’ funds and ignores patients’ rights, rendering patients mere payers of mandatory health insurance contributions. Therefore, we urge healthcare authorities to essentially revise this draft law according to LFMI’s recommendations put forward in this material and we additionally invite the lawmakers to consider the arguments provided in LFMI’s paper “Regarding Covering Healthcare Services from Mandatory Healthcare Insurance Fund.”
