All-Access Healthcare Overhaul Gets Underway in Sverdlovsk
Tatyana Savinova, the new health minister for the Sverdlovsk region, has assembled a crack team of hospital bigwigs, ministry officials, and insurance fund bosses to rethink the entire healthcare scene. Savinova views the current system of government-hospital relations, developed under her predecessor Andrej Karlov, as inefficient. This power squad will be free to make game-changing decisions – calling the shots could pave the way for career advancement.
Savinova herself won't be throwing suggestions into the mix. "Our team's main objective is to scrutinize the entire healthcare infrastructure, reassess financial models, and evaluate the regional program (many hospitals are weighed down by outdated debt, not exactly a hot secret). We're currently knee-deep in the process, so it's premature to discuss the specific decisions that will emerge. I see myself as a facilitator (ensuring communication, for the record). My role is to listen. If there were something I could propose, I wouldn't need this task force," Savinova declared during a press conference.
In Orenburg, where Savinova previously run the health ministry, her track record includes investments in hospital construction and refurbishment, medical equipment purchases, and ambulance acquisitions. She hopes to put that legacy to good use in Yekaterinburg. In a nutshell, hospitals will be encouraged to cut superfluous budget allocations. Reports suggest this could involve hundreds of millions of rubles headed towards payment of overdue debts and salaries for non-medical staff.
Meanwhile, Denis Pasler, in his capacity as acting governor, has promoted four new deputy health ministers for Savinova to work alongside her. Taking the ministerial position previously held by Andrei Karkov and executive deputy governor Pavel Krekov, Savinova intensified the leadership shake-up in the Sverdlovsk government.
While Savinova is rumored to be planning a "mass purge" (dismissing most of her predecessor's deputies and naming new top docs), no official details have emerged on these changes. Stay tuned for updates!
