Healthcare reform is being discussed again in Mykolaiv: what is known

Recently, Mykolaiv Mayor Oleksandr Sienkevych and Head of the Mykolaiv Regional Military Administration Vitalii Kim discussed what a capable network of healthcare facilities should look like. The meeting addressed the issue of merging hospitals and transferring maternity hospital №3 to the regional municipal property.

According to Iryna Shamrai, Head of the Mykolaiv Health Department, the meeting took place on 23 October. In addition to the heads of the region and the city, the meeting was attended by specialised deputies and heads of health departments. It was agreed that a capable hospital network would have three cluster institutions — hospitals №3, №4, №5.

• Hospital №5 (director Olena Terentieva), located in Korabelnyi district, is not planned to be reformed.
• City hospital №4 (director Larysa Derhunova) is to be merged with hospital No. 1 (director Mariia Hrachova, city council member from the party «Proposal») and the Emergency Medical Care Hospital (EMC) (director Oleksandr Demianov).
• The city children's hospital №2 (director Yuriy Dyachuk) is planned to be merged with hospital №3 (Dubky) (director Liubov Savchuk).

However, maternity hospital №3 (director Oleh Ishchenko) in the Namiv neighbourhood, which was previously supposed to be merged with hospital №3, is now to be transferred from Mykolaiv city ownership to regional communal ownership.

As you know, the issue of reorganising hospitals has already been voted down twice by the city council. On 29 May, the deputies unanimously withdrew the issue of merging the city's medical institutions from the session's consideration, as it had not passed the relevant and other commissions.

After that, on 8 June, the deputies again considered the issue of reorganising municipal healthcare facilities. However, the decision did not receive the required number of votes.
