Good day! Here is a brief overview of the changes to the Procedure for Handling Narcotic Drugs, Psychotropic Substances, and Precursors in Healthcare Facilities.
1. **Essence of Changes:**
The resolution introduces changes to the procedure for handling narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, and precursors in healthcare facilities, in particular, simplifies the requirements for military units providing medical care in the combat zone, and expands the list of persons who can prescribe these drugs.
2. **Structure and Main Provisions:**
The changes concern two main points of the Procedure. Point 9 is supplemented with provisions that exempt military units of the first and second levels of medical support (R1, R2) from the requirements for obtaining permission to use facilities and premises for the circulation of narcotic drugs during martial law and 60 days after its completion. It is also determined that the conditions for providing medicines at these facilities are determined by the Ministry of Defense in coordination with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Point 26 expands the list of persons who can prescribe narcotic drugs, including servicemen (employees) of security and defense forces who have the right to provide tactical pre-hospital care. The forms of accounting for the prescription of drugs for different categories of patients are also clarified.
3. **Most Important Provisions:**
The most important is the simplification of the procedure for using narcotic drugs in military units under martial law, which will allow for more prompt provision of necessary medical care to the wounded. Also important is the expansion of the circle of persons who can prescribe these drugs, which is especially important in conditions of limited access to doctors.
