The bill (Reg. No.7278), submitted
by People´s Deputy of Ukraine S. Husarov, amends clause
37 of the Fundamentals of Ukrainian Legislation on Public Health, and clause 10
of the Law "On the Police." Namely, it establishes the following: medical
personnel are obliged to provide emergency aid to the alcohol or drug-impaired
persons or persons in other life-threatening and dangerous to health
conditions. The bill envisages re-equipment of available rooms in hospitals
into the diagnostic-detoxification and rehabilitation rooms. Furthermore, the
bill obliges the police to provide transportation of alcohol or drug-impaired
persons or persons in other life-threatening and dangerous to health conditions
to the nearest medical and preventive treatment institution.
The Committee members believe that adoption of
the bill will arrange the necessary conditions to prevent fatalities and death
of alcohol or drug-impaired citizens or persons in other life-threatening and
dangerous to health conditions, illegal actions both on their part and against them,
and to provide them with quality medical aid.
