PRSC 9 • Negotiation is on May 19, 2009 • 4 pillars • 12 triggers, one for each sector
PRSC 9: Health trigger • Before negotiation: Adopt national standards and establish an independent national accrediting system for certification of health care practitioners • After negotiation: Adopt national standards and establish a unified licensing system for health care practitioners.
Justification • MOH is preparing a circular on national standards. • MOH expects the national standards to be adopted by January 2010. The most suitable licensing model is still being debated. It is expected that the licensing will not only cover doctors who are managers in private hospitals (as currently), but also be extended to all health care practitioners, both public and private. • MOH will establish a unified licensing system for central to provincial levels by January 2010, with the mandate of certifying health practitioners. • The LET is expected to be adopted by the National Assembly by end 2009. The standards and licensing system are expected to be consistent with the new law, and revised regulations will be prepared by May 2010 if needed. • Address the system for patients’ complaints.
Recommendation • The trigger formulation and discussion process should be done more thoroughly between MOH and development partners. • A responsible person in related department should be appointed to be a focal point to follow up and update the PRSC process.
