Why does the state poorly finance the treatment of children with cancer
5000 children - so many cases of oncologyis diagnosed by doctors in Russia every year. And every time the diagnosis sounds like a verdict, because many know that public financing of this kind of illness is akin to myth. That is, it seems to exist, but it is not. And more and more often the question is asked: why is the state so bad and in small amount allocates money for the treatment of children with cancer.
Weak funding of cancer centers stateexplains the lack of money in the budget. It sounds strange for a country that extracts oil and gas in large enough quantities and generously sells them abroad. However, the fact remains that financing for the treatment of children suffering from oncology is going badly. With this cancer they do not stop.
Parents, whose children were diagnosed with oncology, are forced to turn to various funds and charities in order not to waste valuable time.
Why does the state poorly finance the treatment of pediatric oncology
Formally, it would seem, the state does notrefuses to treat sick children. After all, the right to this is spelled out in the Constitution. However, in fact, most of the children are being treated for money. And this is due to different reasons. So, for example, treatment from oncology is carried out according to quotas, which is very easy to obtain in words and paper, but in fact it is very, very difficult. Quotas are small, there are not enough of them all at once, you have to stand in queues for receiving them and collect a huge number of documents. And during this time the child fades very quickly, and the treatment that he can get will be completely useless for him.The number of quotas is determined in advance, based on the approximate statistics for the previous year. However, such a formula does not work, because the number of cases of cancer annually increases many times.In addition, even if it was lucky to get a quota,The question of money is not exhausted, tk. It's time to buy medicines. There is an item of expenditure that the state has never paid for: it is the purchase of medicines that are not registered or registered only in 2011. Such drugs can be very good and productive and win cancer, but they are not given money. At the same time they are not worth a penny. Does not pay for the state and the procedure for finding unrelated donors. All this is done by doctors or funds themselves, but the parents of a sick kid have to pay for such a service. Also, the number of unpaid services includes preparation for treatment. For example, radiation therapy is free of charge, and preparation for it, which includes the precise location of the tumor and much more, is not. With regard to the purchase of approved medications, bureaucratic delays are also evident here. For example, hospitals can only buy medicines on the basis of tenders, which, as is known, last long enough, then the procedure for concluding a contract follows, and only then they proceed to deliveries. Many patients simply can not wait for the end of all these processes.
