Andrei Rudanov, an expert in life sciences law and a partner of the European Life Science & Knowledge Institute (ELSKI), stated that the primary concern voiced by various organizations is not the fundamental principle of control or responsibility itself. Rather, the focus is on how the proposed legislative changes may affect the interests of patients and the overall stability of the health system. According to Rudanov, the measures outlined in the current projects raise significant questions regarding proportionality and potential negative consequences for patients.
He emphasized that these proposals should not be treated merely as technical adjustments. Instead, they fundamentally alter the existing relationships among state institutions, healthcare facilities, medical practitioners, and patients. Rudanov noted that critical operational questions remain unanswered, including the tangible impact of these changes on service availability, the management of waiting lists, regional disparities, and the capacity of patients to receive timely medical assistance.
The expert stressed that until these fundamental questions are addressed, the scope and implications of the proposed reforms remain unclear.
