  25. Is the CEE & NIS Health Care System ready to absorb professionals in PH ?

  26. rather NOT because usually: • there are no formal positions for them in a system • they are not recognized by • medical personnel • health managers • health administrators • there is no status/esteem of this profession • patient/citizen does not know what PH is

  28. Range of recommendations for SPH * • Work intensively together with the abroad partners/experts to constructively solve your local problems • be flexible, consider to set up the coalitions with other organizations if necessary, give them some benefits

  29. Range of recommendations ** • involve the MD’s into the project as teachers but also gain the influential representats from medical establishment • the same with MoH representatives and politicians • build the support of stakeholders !

  30. Range of recommendations *** as soon as possible: • start the postgraduate and graduate education • fight for setting the regulations for employment of PH professionals • the same for the regulations for degrees in PH • build up a status of PH professionals

  31. Future of the OSI-ASPHER Program...? • Further study and regular analysis of the experiences of those SPHs under auspicies of ASPHER? • grant application – Leonardo? • Possible complementing activities: • ...?
