for their patients, in compliance with the international standards of
medical services to persons with mental disorders and of the security
of medical personnel. On September 24, 2012 the Prime Minister tasked
the leaderships of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Justice and
Ministry of Health Care to consider this issue. It was decided to form a
working group for drafting of the relevant regulation.
On December 12, 2012 the Ombudsman sent a submission to M. Azarov,
Prime Minister of Ukraine, on bringing Resolution No. 1138 of the Cabinet
of Ministers of Ukraine (of September 17, 1996) “On approval of the list
of paid services provided at public health care institutions and establishments of higher medical education” (where it relates to services of forensic psychiatric examination in cases on restriction of civil capacity or on
pronouncement of a natural person incapable) into compliance with the
requirements of the Code of Civil Procedure of Ukraine. On December 18,
2012 the Prime Minister tasked the Ministry of Health Care to take measures for resolving this issue.
It should be emphasized that monitoring of children’s homes showed a proper
level of respect of the rights of the child
in the vast majority of visited institutions. A vivid example is the specialized
children’s nursing home in Cherkassy
that takes good care of all the rights and
best interests of its residents, including
adoption to families. The appropriately
qualified personnel is keeping the premises cozy and comfortable, playgrounds
are equipped in accordance with the
age needs, and the children reside in a
loving and caring environment.
