On 1 April the reform of medical aid funding was launched. It concerns signing contracts with family doctors. For half a month more than 13 000 contracts have appeared. Most of them in Lutsk – more than 4 000 of all.

After having signed the declarations with the doctors, people will have an opportunity to have a contract with national healthcare service. It will be possible in July.

The funding of the medical service depends on the amount of contracts, so the authorities call on not to hesitate with it. Nowadays, government allocate 240 hryvnias for each citizen, 370 hryvnias for those, who have signed the contract, twice higher for the retired and children.
