The creation of supervisory boards is being carried out within the framework of a pilot regime of managerial and financial autonomy for medical organizations.
The ministry noted that the supervisory board will act as a collegial body that will ensure the transparency of the functioning of medical institutions, increase their accountability, protect patients' rights, and activate public participation in making important decisions.
Appointment of the Supervisory Board
Functions performed by the Supervisory Board:- monitoring the effectiveness and transparency of the expenditure of budgetary and extrabudgetary funds;
- ensuring the observance of patients' rights and monitoring the implementation of state guarantees in the field of medical assistance;
- participation in discussions on the strategic directions for the development of institutions;
- developing recommendations to improve the quality, accessibility, and efficiency of medical services;
- strengthening the interaction of the institution with society and the professional community.
Who can become a member of the Supervisory Board
Invited are the following categories of citizens:- representatives of local communities and local self-government bodies;
- representatives of patient, public, and non-profit organizations;
- representatives of professional medical and industry associations;
- experts in the fields of healthcare, law, economics, management, and social development;
- active citizens showing interest in improving the healthcare system.
Documents are accepted until March 23, 2026, both by email and directly at the chosen medical organization or at the Ministry of Health.
The application must specify which supervisory board the candidate plans to join. All applications will be reviewed in accordance with the established procedure, and the final composition of the boards will be approved by the Ministry of Health.
It is worth noting that the activities of the supervisory boards will be regulated by a standard provision approved by the Ministry of Health.
The department emphasized the importance of civil society and professional associations' participation in forming the supervisory boards, stating that this will help enhance transparency and focus the healthcare system on patients' interests.
It was previously reported that state medical institutions are planned to be granted more autonomy to expand their powers in management and financial activities. This is necessary so that they can make quicker decisions on implementing modern management methods, developing and improving paid services to optimize budget expenditures.
