   Deputy Health Minister O. Tolstanov, heads of departments of the Health Ministry, Ministry of Finance, and Principal Health Care Departments of Vinnytsya, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk Oblast State Administrations and Kyiv Municipal State Administration also participated in the conference.
   The participants discussed the progress of the health care reform and, particularly, the reallocation of functions between primary and secondary health care providers.
   The reforms proposed will result in changes in the structure of health care institutions, the scope of services delivered by them, changes in approaches used for evaluating the activities of health care services providers, and introducing performance-based salaries for General Practitioners. To achieve this, relevant changes should be made to applicable regulations.
   One of the reform tasks relates to PPB improvement, in order to apply it in pilot-program primary and secondary health care institutions in towns and districts of the Vinnytsya, Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk oblasts and the City of Kyiv.
   These reforms will make possible to improve the quality of heath care services, ensure budget transparency and objective assessment of the reformed health care system operation.
