No. 7359) is to facilitate medical emergency treatment, and improve identification of motor vehicles driven by the doctors. Therefore, the bill vests the doctors with the right for a free parking of their private cars, provided these cars have special license plates and stickers with the respective doctor´s contact information.

 

The participants of the meeting focused on the remark of the Central Scientific Experts Office of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Secretariat, whereby extra privileges to the doctors contravene the ideology of the Tax Code of Ukraine in part of the right of the local self-government bodies to fix the parking charge.

 

The bill also supplements clause 37 of the Fundamentals of Health Legislation of Ukraine with the following text: "Medical emergency treatment can be rendered by medical workers present at the incident location."
