Liepaja Regional Hospital, Daugavpils Regional Hospital, Children's Clinical University Hospital, Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital, Riga Eastern Clinical University Hospital, Jelgava City Hospital, Jekabpils District Central Hospital, Rezekne Hospital, North Kurzeme Regional Hospital, Vidzeme Hospital and the National Rehabilitation Center "Vaivari" will be prioritized in receiving health care funding, also including providing emergency medical services.
Thus, the priority will be given to the multi-profile hospitals that provide treatment to the most patients, while the 11 so-called local multi-profile hospitals, where the number of patients is smaller, will receive less funding, Health Ministry spokesman Oskars Sneiders informed LETA.
Also, the hospitalization plan by the Emergency Medical Service will be specified, and will provide information to which hospital the patient will be brought, according to his place of residence and illness.
From July 1, 2011, emergency medical services may only be provided in multi-profile hospitals, where at least 7,000 patients will be treated and 400 child births registered per year, informed Sneiders.
