Starting from 2025, patients receiving treatment in state hospitals will be required to pay for paid medical services.

This document establishes the procedure for providing paid services, but payments for them will not be made by the National Health Service. The official payment for services will be allocated for the development of medical institutions and improving conditions for patients and staff.
