OREANDA-NEWS. "The Health Ministry won’t reduce the number of doctors, instead it will offer a mechanism of redistribution of salaries depending on the qualifications of the doctors," said Health Minister Alexander Kvitashvili during a press conference.

"The current health care system is unfair, as it is bound to the number of beds in the hospital, instead of a quality of provided services," said A. Kvitashvili. He also explained, "To change this, the system needs to be reframed from that paying for the premises, into that paying for the appropriate qualifications. So, a good physician will get a decent wage, and not a very good one, who won’t have anyone to cure, an appropriate wage".

"Such a reform will bring benefit for both doctors and patients," the Minister said.
