Draft Protocol on Amending the CIS Cooperation Agreement in the Field of Public Health discussed in Minsk
02 October 2017
The Agreement was signed in June 1992 and is a fundamental document aimed at preservation and strengthening of intergovernmental cooperation in the field of public health. In order to implement the provisions of this agreement, a relevant council has been created, composed of the healthcare ministers and chief state sanitary doctors of the Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Kyrghyz Republic, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation, the Republic of Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, the Republic of Uzbekistan and Ukraine.
For the past years the CIS member nations have seen sweeping changes in the field of legislation and general approaches to the healthcare framework, with fee-for-service and insurance healthcare becoming widespread. The principles of rendering medical services to migrant workers and members of their families have also changed. Therefore, there was a need to update the Agreement.
The Republic of Armenia, the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan, the Republic of Moldova, the Russian Federation and the Republic of Uzbekistan submitted their proposals to the draft Protocol to be considered at the upcoming meeting of the expert group.
