61 patients with an organization representing the EDF is the most influential organization of patients in Europe, which defended the interests of an increasingly complies with the European Union and national authorities. Swede Anders Olausonas also advice and support to patients with rare diseases and their families providing "Agrenska" center of Sweden, founder and chairman of the board.
This week A.Olausonas, as well as other experts (among them - EU scientists, politicians, representatives states by population of the World Health Organization) will participate in the conference states by population "Sustainable health - sustainable development in Europe", which is organized Lithuanian presidency occasion. Before the visit Vilnius EDF manager gave an interview to the "face".
AO: The angle is difficult to compare the different European countries, and generally say that it is better to suffer states by population in France, Sweden, Germany and Lithuania, as it depends on many factors. Even if a country is rich, does not mean that the patient will get there in the best possible. We can see that the rich and influential, and the people did not receive the proper treatment of your illness or death in Luxembourg or France. Maybe in another country, even if it is not as well-developed health care system, but better to treat a particular disease, they would have received better treatment. The quality of treatment is highly dependent not only on country-functioning health system value, but also its healing traditions, attitudes, many other things.
Of course, more difficult to be suffering from a country which has a long tradition of healing and resources research. On the other hand, it must be recognized that such economic difficulties and with countries like Lithuania, Romania, Italy, Spain and Ireland, the medical profession may be interested in other countries has the latest medical advances, and to apply this knowledge in their work. However, funding is very important. For example., Bulgaria, patients often do not generally necessary medication or treatment, because the state can not afford to spend. This is very bad.
I am well aware the situation states by population in Estonia, from the experience I had the picture of all post-Soviet countries have the problems. I can respond states by population with a great respect for the progress of the Estonian health, I can see it in other post-Soviet countries. states by population But this does not mean that the post-Soviet countries, the population now has access to a good level of health care.
AO: I lived in a wealthy country like Sweden, it is very easy to say, "Oh states by population well, too bad for you because of your citizens not to this and that is what we have." But our story different, we do not experience the same problems as you and our ability to quite another. I think that Lithuania is moving very much in the right direction, but, of course, the path to progress will be long.
One of the most important things to which you should pay attention to the Lithuanian health policy makers, is the relationship with patients. Need to know your patients and their diseases again, understanding what it actually means to suffer states by population from one or other chronic disease. I had to speak with your health minister and tell him really not nice things. I said, that is a big mistake to cut down the cost of health care due to the fact that the country's finances in balance. The conference, which will take place in Vilnius, as well as a way to show the Lithuanian people have an interest in better health care in the country.
FACE: When my daughter recently ended up in the hospital, states by population I had a chance to look at the positions of the patient to the medical treatment of the patients and their relatives. Convinced that a lot of our basic medical experience communication difficulties and the patient looks at how the client, but as a problem. Lithuania have more evils: and it is a long line to get to specialists, and distributed bribes to medical staff. How to Sweden with the fighting? We have heard that a row and bribes you with medical disappeared before two or three decades.
AO: Yes, many times before. In fact, I do not remember states by population that, even when I was a kid, my parents would Nese any gifts or bribes to doctors. I think it's more of post-Soviet countries, tradition, common than doctors in Europe. I do not think that doctors expect a gift from a patient because of my having a right state because they are too little reward. It is more dictated by your culture. Estonian doctors also hoped to get something from the patient states by population (and not necessarily money, but maybe a box of chocolates, and so on.), But they say that it is already past. Doctors states by population there are no longer any gift, this thing is fast disappearing, as the government also said a strict "no."
Well, if we talk about poetry, the only way to reduce them is to raise funding. Sweden, the government spent hundreds of millions of euros, to reduce the queues to get specialists. There is no alternative.
AO: If the doctor taking bribes, it is in no way justified. T
