June 21, 2016 the Department of Health in Ukraine adopted the Decree “On approval and implementation of medical and technological documents for standardization of care for pulmonary hypertension”
This Decree is highly anticipated and needed: http://www.dec.gov.ua/mtd/_legenGipert.html.
IT APPROVED:
1. Unified clinical protocols of primary, secondary (specialized) and tertiary (highly specialized) medical care “Pulmonary hypertension in children.”
2. Unified clinical protocols of emergency, primary, secondary (specialized) and tertiary (highly specialized) medical care “Pulmonary hypertension in adults.”
3. Adapted clinical guidelines based on evidence “Pulmonary hypertension”.
Important thing is that before the existence of these clinical protocols while diagnostic and treatment of PH the family doctors, general practitioners, pediatricians and cardiologists act at their’s discretion, guided online resources and the recommendations that are not a single, unified source.
We hope that with approved clinical protocols it will be possible to improve health care of patients with pulmonary hypertension.
