The Ministry of Health has developed a document defining the standards for visits by patients to a pediatrician, general practitioner, gynecologist, ENT, ophthalmologist, and neurologist. According to the new trends, the admission of patients should correspond to the following time frame:
- pediatrician and therapist - 15 minutes;
- ophthalmologist - 14 minutes;
- ENT -16 minutes;
- family doctor - 18 minutes;
- Neurologist and obstetrician-gynecologist - 22 minutes each.
Repeated visits to these doctors is 70-80% of the primary. Those who want to turn to the above-mentioned specialists for the purpose of prevention will be able to spend with the doctor only 60-70% of the norms associated with a particular disease.
The length of the visit by the doctor to the patient is determined by the officials: taking into account the travel time, the visit of the pediatrician and therapist should not exceed 30 minutes, the family doctor - 33 minutes.
Recall that a similar initiative was already considered last year. However, at that time, officials offered such a short timeframe for reception by specialists that they caused an incredible amount of criticism from both medical experts and patients.
