Over many years, private diagnostic centers have built strong teams of radiologists. In this way, the Health Ministry would reduce the waiting list and people would not have to wait in line for months." The bill goes beyond combating double payments and creates a direct risk that private diagnostic centers operating in hospitals will cease to operate," Kulyk said. According to the Health Ministry, 235 CT scanners worth more than UAH 3.36 billion have been supplied to Ukrainian medical facilities since 2020. A total of 396 CT scanners operate at municipal medical facilities, another 58 CT scanners are in use at private facilities and 42 at state-owned facilities.
