Patient organizations should be able to act together

Several patient organizations are considering the future common proceeding by negotiations with Ministry of Health. As was pointed out by the representatives of patients on their common negotiation, the problems in health care persist even with new Government. According to Executive Director of the civic association Slovak Patient, Ján Mútal, the patient organizations necessarily need a unit platform. Patient organizations believe that such a step would bring them a representative in the Categorization Committee, which decides on the payments for pharmaceuticals and medical devices.
