Treasury agrees to clear the pre-reform debts of 150 independent health

centers During yesterday's meeting with the representatives of the Ministries of Health, Treasury, and Interior voivods were informed that the government will clear the debts of around 150 health centers, which became independent before the health reform began last year. The plan will only include the debts resulting from the Treasury's negligence, when the voivods did not fulfill the contracts with the autonomous entities or when the hospitals became independent prior to the actual debt-clearance. The responsibility to prove the case lies solely with the hospitals, while the voivods will decide whether to accept the suggested sums. The case will be assisted by Bank Handlowy.
