In Russia, 330 billion rubles will be allocated for cancer patient care. On December 19, the Government decree on the program of state guarantees of medical care free provision to citizens for 2019 and for the planned period of 2020 and 2021 comes into force, reports the Parliamentary Newspaper.

The program contains a number of new provisions. First of all, the document expands the list of rare diseases for the treatment of which drugs are purchased at the federal level. Thus, the list includes hemolytic-uremic syndrome, juvenile arthritis with the systemic onset and mucopolysaccharidosis types I, II and IV.

The deadlines for waiting for computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and angiography screening when providing primary medical care for patients with cancer have been adjusted. Now, these terms should not exceed 14 days from the date of appointment (currently they cannot exceed 30 days).

In addition, the document establishes the standard of financial costs at the expense of the compulsory health insurance for one preventive examination, including medical examination - next year it will be 1019.7 rubles. The average standard of financial expenses for one in-vitro fertilization is also determined - in 2019 it will be almost 114 thousand rubles. This standard will be 76.7 thousand rubles for the treatment of cancer in a hospital.

The program has adjusted the list of types of high-tech medical care. In 2019, the basic compulsory health insurance program will include two new methods of treatment - replacement arthroplasty and coronary myocardial revascularization using angioplasty in combination with stenting for coronary heart disease.

Based on the program, the regional authorities will have to develop their territorial programs of state guarantees by December 30, 2018.

Vice Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said at a meeting of the Government that the volume of state guarantees for the free medical assistance program for 2019-2021 was estimated at 8.6 trillion rubles.

In 2019, the increase in allocations will be 500 billion, including funds that will be used to provide oncological assistance to citizens. The Vice Prime Minister stressed that since 2019, for the first time, the volume and funds for providing medical aid to oncology patients had been separately outlined in the program; in the next three years, 330 billion rubles would be allocated for these purposes.
