Insurance companies defend from publishing of waiting lists

While health insurance companies are reporting profits, patients are still waiting for some examinations or planned operation for months. Patient organization calls on insurance companies to make first step forward the transparency of waiting lists system. This should be the publishing of waiting times in particular hospitals for diagnostic procedures or operations. Health insurance companies defend from it and do not want to publish the waiting times, until the law tells them to. Ministry of Health, however, intends to wait, until the need of change of the law will be shown by the practice.
