Perspectives or Telemedicine Development in Ukraine
Abstract
The healthcare system in Ukraine has seen the creation of National Medical Networks and Registers (databases). There are two extensively developed medical networks operating within the framework of the computer network of the first generation `HealthNet The most ramified of these two is the National Register of the individuals who are suffering from consequences of the Chernobyl disaster. This Register monitors the health of more than 700,000 persons. A computer network has been created in order to maintain this Register, covering 25 districts and cities under direct central administration- Kiev and Sebastopol. The second most ramified network is the net of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine which is implemented on the computer centres of the district Sanitary and Epidemiological Service (ca. 70 computer centres), which transmits operative in formation on the current sanitary. epidemiological and ecological situation to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine. These nets are integrated in a common net called `HealthNet'. A third medical network has been created for the monitoring of oncological patients in Ukraine. This network links the regional Oncological Dispensaries (19 regions ) with the Institute of Oncology in Kiev, on the basis of which the Oncological Register functions. Since 1997, Ukraine is a member of the international `EuroTransplant" organization. This medical computer network has united regional Centres with the National Informational - Coordination Centre on Transplantation of Organs, Cells and Tissues, which is located in Kiev.
