Czech Medical Chamber wants amendment to health insurance act

The Czech Medical Chamber is demanding a fundamental amendment be made to the act on public health insurance. The chamber wants permanent contracts with health insurance companies so that private-practice doctors can sell their practices without having to hold public tenders for new contracts. The same would apply to health care facilities owned by private businesses. The head of the Medical Chamber, Milan Kubek, said that the demand would be a task for the government that emerges from parliamentary elections.
