“In the case of Pirogov, two principles clashed. One is a strict legal order, and the other is a manifestation of humanity.” This was said to Nova TV by the former director of the medical institution, Assoc. Prof. Spas Spaskov.
“When we show humanity, then we tend to break certain rules. When doctors show humanity, and we have isolated cases – doctors violate these rules in favor of the patient, he added.
According to the former head of the largest emergency hospital, when a doctor and a patient agree that he will be admitted on documents, but will not be there, it is a violation. But when a doctor and a patient agree – this violation is somewhat acceptable.
“It is difficult to prove who is right and who is lying. In this case there is an overexposure of the news, which leads to very quick reactions. To what extent they are objectified with documents and substantiated is another matter. The NHIF, where it all started, made its inspections under the Health Insurance Act and said that there were a number of patients registered. Accordingly, it demanded a sum to be returned, “commented health economist Arkady Sharkov.
According to him, the dispute between the hospital and the fund should remain institutional.
If it is true, then the money should be returned. And since this inspection will not be only for “Pirogov”, but similar ones are performed in other hospitals – the money should be returned. And the debate about that – what was inscribed and what not – if someone wants to challenge something, he should go to court, not to the media “, he is categorical.
He added: “The appearance of this debate in the media space leads to negatives – both for patients and for the medical institution, as well as for the health system.”
