Kyiv City State Administration, in order to improve the medical servicing of the Kyiv citizens, wants to initiate the creation of a municipal insurance company, Head of Kyiv City State Administration Oleksandr Popov said on Kyiv TV Channel.

“Now it’s important to introduce insurance medicine. That’s why we’re initiating the consideration of the issue that we, as a capital, have our own municipal insurance company, which could insure the capital’s citizens … [provide] quality medical servicing, and prolong people’s lives,” he said.

According to Popov, during 2013 all processes connected with the reform of the initial level of healthcare and emergency medical aid are to be finished. The healthcare department of Kyiv City State Administration is also conducting basic work to improve the prestige value of the doctor’s profession and increase health sector salaries.

The Kyiv administration’s head said that due to a pilot project in Dniprovsky and Darnytsky districts of Kyiv last year, the motivation of the doctors of primary health units was considerable improved: their salaries were increased on average by one-and-a-half to two times. However, even this level of wages is still must grow, Popov said.
