Question

In Appendix No. 2 of Decree No. 531/2023, there is an error in Program No. 71. In Appendix No. 1 of Decree No. 531/223, there is an error in Program No. 71, “Infectious Diseases Program,” it is stated for Level V that it is a supplementary program for the period from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2029, and a mandatory program for the period beginning January 1, 2030. Annex No. 2 of the same decree incorrectly lists the same program as mandatory for Level V.

Answer

Hello, according to the currently valid program profile (Annex No. 1 to Decree No. 531/2023 Z. z., Program No. 33), this program is classified as supplementary until January 1, 2030, after which it is to become mandatory for Level V hospitals at the Level V level. In your feedback, you mention an obligation on the part of the medical services themselves; however, this obligation applies only if your hospital has been assigned this program. Therefore, since you do not currently have this supplementary program, this obligation for Level V medical services does not apply to you. Thank you very much for your suggestion.
