Published on: Oct 21, 2020 • 2:06 AM Author: PR Service
The Montenegrin Cabinet, on Friday, 16 October 2020, without holding a session and based on the obtained consent of the majority of the Cabinet members, adopted the Decision on Amendments to the Decision on the Network of Health Institutions. The Decision adds to the network of health institutions the following providers: Podgorica-based MojLab Polyclinic as a provider of primary health care for microbiological diagnostics for testing the presence of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) with real-time PCR technique, Day Hospital Dr. Zejnilović from Bar as a provider of laboratory diagnostic services for the services of testing for the presence of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) by real-time PCR technique in the field of microbiological diagnostics, at the secondary and tertiary level of health care. The introduction of these health institutions will reduce the workload of the laboratory of the Public Health Institute of Montenegro, and thus the waiting time for test results and reduce the costs incurred so far by sending samples for testing in a laboratory in Germany.
Hipokrat Polyclinic has been added to the network of health institutions as a provider of diagnostic radiology services for magnetic resonance services at the secondary and tertiary level of health care.
The Decree amending the Decree on the scope of rights and standards of health care from compulsory health insurance at the secondary and tertiary level of health care was adopted, by which the testing for the presence of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) by real-time PCR technique was included in the rights of insured persons and is provided at the expense of the Health Insurance Fund.
The Cabinet adopted a Decree amending the Decree on the scope of rights and standards of health care from compulsory health insurance at the secondary and tertiary level of health care, by which the testing for the presence of the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) by real-time RT-PCR technique was included in the rights of insured persons and is provided at the expense of the Health Insurance Fund.
In the current epidemiological situation in Montenegro, timely diagnosis of patients with COVID-19 is a key factor in the timely detection of contacts and prevention of local transmission. According to the recommendations of the World Health Organization, PCR diagnostics, in addition to other diagnostic procedures, remains the "gold standard" for detecting the presence of coronavirus.
