Significant rethinking of the role ...

A significant rethinking of the role and tasks of the professional community of surgeons has occurred after the 2002 law "On technical regulation", under which were lifted industry standards, and enforcing national standards and standards organizations to 07/01/2003, it became voluntary. Also became a volunteer and accreditation of medical organizations. Incurred "legislative vacuum" would be filled with the implementation of the law "On self-regulatory organizations, which, unfortunately, three years of existence on paper has never been adopted. Government officials from the Russian Government, State Duma before the end do not understand the depth of the said conflict of law. For the visual perception of the problem is a comparison: voluntary compliance with standards of care is the same as the voluntary execution of the Rules of the road. There is no law on self-regulatory organizations "- no self-regulating medical organizations, the standards which are binding on the members of such organizations. Having lost hope on the yield of the Act, but without losing the professional responsibility to the people and government, the surgeons of the country in October to hold Constituent Congress to create the Russian Society of Surgeons, which I am sure, will really manage the professional activities of my colleagues across the country through regional offices. Yes, partly it would be contrary to and not in accordance with applicable law, but to wait and continue to the mercy of an official can not, or we, through inaction, violates the rights of patients to receive high-quality surgical care. Speaking about the prospects of cooperation of the Association of Surgeons of St. Petersburg with the city executive authorities, I will note only that they appear to be good to me, and productive. The fact that the chief surgeon of the Health Committee approved Yablonsky PK - Board member of our Association, competent professionals, well aware that effective management of surgical services of the city is possible only through the structures and instruments of the Association of Surgeons. I think that if for various reasons, the region's health authorities can not yet abandon the Institute of senior specialists, then submit nominations for these positions should be extremely professional associations. Time "pocket" senior specialists should sink into oblivion. Hatters Sergey - Board member of the Association of Surgeons of St. Petersburg, a professor here has already said about the importance of structuring the medical community on the principles of medical specialty and territory for the effective performance management profession. No less important is the internal structure of both territorial and professional medical associations. To develop collective solutions within the territorial medical associations on matters of tariff policy in the MLA Association medical organizations in St. Petersburg has established a commission on tariffs.
