The new Decisions of the Cabinet of Ministers introducing amendments to several legislative acts serve to expand the opportunities for providing sanatorium-resort vouchers (treatment permits) to persons with disabilities and other privileged individuals.

According to these amendments, children under the age of 18 who become eligible for sanatorium-resort treatment will also be able to receive the service together with an accompanying person, and during the period of their treatment, they will have the right to change the accompanying person once.

Additionally, if a person with a disability resulting from occupational accidents or occupational diseases worked at an enterprise that has been liquidated, such individuals will still receive sanatorium-resort treatment provided that the employer has been reorganised and a legal successor exists.

Furthermore, individuals with disabilities whose bodily functions have been impaired by 81–100 percent, as well as children with disabilities, will also have the right to change the accompanying person once during the treatment period.

The new regulations also include provisions for automated issuance of sanatorium-resort vouchers through the “Sanatorium-Resort” subsystem of the Centralised Electronic Information System of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Population.

Technical amendments have also been made to the rules to ensure consistency regarding the sanatorium-resort treatment of persons with multiple sclerosis, as well as those with hereditary blood disorders such as haemophilia and thalassemia.
