In Nizhny Novgorod, the hospital stopped treating insolvent: funding has ended

The crisis situation has developed in one of the hospitals of Nizhny Novgorod: there they stopped hospitalizing patients according to the policy, explaining that the money for 2015 is spent. This happened in the city clinical hospital No. 3 for the first time in decades, says NN.RU.

The current treatment in GKB No. 3 will be completed, but the hospital will not take it new patients.

The journalist Irina Slavina spoke about the termination of hospitalization on the Facebook page. According to doctors, since 2013, medical facilities reduce the number of beds and the volume of state order. This is one of the reasons for the diverse position of the medical institution. Officials consider the provision of medical services on a paid basis.

Since 1990, the Nizhny Novgorod geriatric center has been working on the hospital - the only specialized institution in the field for examining and treating elderly patients. The veteran of the Great Patriotic War, the 92-year-old Nizhny Novgorod Nikolai Aleksandrovich Skorodumov said: “I have been treated here since 1952 as a disabled person of war and the quality of service is very pleased, the hospital has great authority ... Now they have been accepting patients only for a fee. Patients have taken this news with great regret and worried. We called the ministry, which is engaged in these issues, said that she knew nothing, and did not know anything, and did not know anything, and did not know anything, and did not know anything, and did not know anything, and did not know anything, and I promised to figure it out. "

The draft regional budget says that in 2016, healthcare expenses will be reduced by 8.5% to 20.7 billion rubles. The large half - 11.2 billion - is allocated for "improving the territorial healthcare system."
