For the time being, restrictions are maintained in scheduled hospital services, and scheduled operations performed under full anesthesia (endotracheal anasthesia or laryngeal mask) are not available, the NVD informed.
NVD said that strict epidemiological safety requirements are maintained in medical establishments. Citizens must contact and agree upon the time of the visit before going to the doctor and it is not allowed to go without an arrangement.
The physician is required to send the patient for COVID-19 testing before a scheduled surgery or invasive manipulation. These operations will only be performed if the result is negative.
As of May 20, in addition to services previously provided (oncology, life-saving, as well as disability-prevention operations), the following are available:
treatment of ulcers, including complications from osteomyelitis and long-term non-healing chronic skin and soft tissue ulcers;
eye surgery for possible blindness prevention;
invasive treatment for patients with heart rate disorders;
cochlear implantation;
organ transplants;
endoprosthetics of joints.
All available health services are listed on NVD website.
