Medical tourism in Ukraine is quite young, but its deve lopment trend is quite impressive. How to find a medical establishment, the best doctor? This is what we tell about in our magazine. We have held a public opinion poll among people in Ukraine who either visited foreign clinics or intend to. How can we describe such patient? Age – 25 60 лет, education – higher, income level – average and high. Psychological characteristics of a prospective patient are: quite traditional and conservative, correlate price and quality, carrier oriented, quiet and sober minded. On the basis of our study we created magazine “Treatment abroad and in Ukraine”. In January 2009 it will celebrate its first Birthday. And today as a result of our annual activity we obtained financial and qualitative indices confirming take up of the magazine in Ukraine and abroad. Our edition is a bridge between foreign medicine and Ukraine. In 2008 the magazine organised international projects intended to promote the best foreign clinics and Medical Tourism is one of the fastest growing healthcare
medical companies in the Ukrainian market. And we are

«Upon my initiative, the Law broadening patients' rights was adopted» (No. 7, 2008):

– In our country, 11.5% of the GNP is allocated for the sphere of healthcare, and the share in the Canton of Geneva is 12.5%, due to
RoSe GmbH, the fact that the salaries of medical employees are higher in our Munchen, Deutschland region, Pierre Francois Unger says. – These amounts cover approxi www.rose gmbh.de mately half of all healthcare expenses, and the other 50 percent of iMER International Medical Evalution & Referral, Jerusalem, Israel www.imer.biz
the needed funds are accumulated in the insurance funds. A foreign patient in Switzerland enjoys the very same rights as does any one else in the state. That is why in case of a real medical flaw, his/her interests will definitely be protected. In general, patients in

Switzerland enjoy a large number of rights. In the Canton of Geneva
Rosenheim, Germany
in particular, a special law was adopted on my initiative three years

ago that broadened these rights even more.

«Ministry of Healthcare warning!» (No. 2, 2008) – The President of Ukraine made it very clear that the present system

of healthcare does not satisfy him as the guarantor of constitutional rights; that is why he commissioned a task to develop a reforming strategy, Mr. Minister emphasizes. – Each person is primarily entitled to choose a doctor for themselves and to conclude an agreement with the doctor. Much is spoken about the medical insurance today.
Others:
In the doctor patient relations, a certain arbiter defending the sick person's rights emerges. In principle, the civilized society has not yet OTP Bank. Kiev, Ukraine come up with anything better than insurance mechanism. www.otpbank.com.ua The medical social security bill will be submitted to the Parliament 5 element, Sport CLUB, Kiev, Ukraine www.5el.com.ua
for consideration, but we will not manage to implement it within a single year in terms of both physical effort and legal specificity.
