Will changes in healthcare heal the system? Former health minister will answer

The discussion will cover the future of county hospitals, maternity and pediatric departments, with the Ministry of Health stating it will not close these hospitals but will change their organization and funding. The effectiveness of replacing short hospital stays with outpatient services will be examined for potential savings without compromising care quality. Cybersecurity in hospitals, increasingly targeted by cyberattacks, will also be addressed. Public health topics include planned changes to the sugar tax, anti-alcohol regulations, and abortion legislation. The conversation will explore whether proposed regulations meet the urgent needs of patients and doctors while balancing health goals, budget constraints, and patient rights.
