As part of a large-scale reform, the Ministry of Health of Ukraine has announced the establishment of new medical commissions that will replace the traditional medical and social expert commissions (MSEC).
According to the Ministry of Health, the reform aims to enhance transparency in processes and significantly improve the quality of medical case assessments. To achieve this, the approach to organizing work has been modified: the number of specialists has increased fourfold. More than 1,500 expert teams have been engaged, comprising 5,600 doctors.
The distribution of cases among institutions is tailored to regional characteristics, for example:
In Chernihiv, documents from the city MSEC have been transferred to the Chernihiv Medical Center for Modern Oncology, as well as city hospitals No. 3 and No. 4.
In Odessa, cases from six MSECs are now being processed at the Odessa Regional Clinical Hospital.
What Patients Need to Know
If you have submitted documents for MSEC review, there is no need to worry. The Ministry of Health assures that all cases are under control, and the document review process is proceeding according to a clear algorithm:
Notification of Review
You will receive information regarding the date, time, and location of your case review.
System Settings
Minor delays may occur during the transition period, but the system is expected to operate smoothly in the near future.
Details on the New Commissions
A complete list of institutions to which materials have been transferred is available on the official website of the Ministry of Health.
Current Results of the Reform
As of January 13, 2025, over 36,000 cases requiring priority review have already been processed. The reorganization ensures a significant acceleration of the process and facilitates access to quality expertise.
