Description
Description (EN): The growth of national centralization of medical services has left remote border areas, such as Zarasai district, detached from national centres of quality medical care. Due to far locations emergency medical care is not sufficient to provide timely aid, with closest ones being from 48 to 148 km away. Although people from Zarasai can receive active treatment or get professional consultations in a qualified medical facility in Vilnius the waiting often takes three to six weeks.
The overall objective of the project is to improve accessibility of quality medical care through strengthening institutional capacity and cooperation between medical institutions in the cross-border region Zarasai-Daugavpils.
As a main project output cross-border cooperation framework between Zarasai Primary Healthcare Centre and Daugavpils Regional Hospital will be created. In order to ensure accessibility and service quality of emergency medical care an ambulance vehicle for Zarasai Emergency Service unit will be purchased. Seeking to improve quality of urgent medical care services the Daugavpils Regional Hospital will be equipped with thromboelastometry system, portable ventilator, video laryngoscope and video intubation system, thus increasing its capacities as a cross-border qualified medical service provider. For constant improvement of emergency care training manikins will be provided, cross-border disaster simulation and disaster management strategy and operational guidelines prepared.
Finally people from Zarasai district will be able to receive quality medical services in the distance of just 25 km in Daugavpils Regional Hospital which will update its capacities to provide even better medical care.
This type of project was not possible a few years ago because of the mismatch in national legislation of Lithuania and Latvia. Hopefully the border is not a barrier to save lives anymore.
Read more Description (LT): Auganti medicinos paslaugų centralizacija atskyrė tolimesnius šalies rajonus, tokius kaip Zarasai, nuo valstybinių kokybiškos medicinos pagalbos centrų. Šie centrai yra per toli- nuo 48 iki 148 km atstumu nuo Zarasų, kad kritišku atveju skubi medicinos pagalba būtų suteikta pakankamai greitai. Nors Zarasų gyventojai gali būti gydomi ar profesionaliai konsultuojami Vilniaus gydymo įstaigose, besikreipiantiems konsultacijos dažnai reikia laukti 3-6 savaites.
Projekto tikslas - pagerinti kokybiškų medicinos paslaugų prieinamumą kartu stiprinant medicinos įstaigų Zarasų-Daugpilio pasienio regione gebėjimus ir bendradarbiavimą.
Įgyvendinus projektą bus sukurta bendradarbiavimo tarp Zarasų pirminės sveikatos priežiūros centro ir Daugpilio regioninės ligoninės sistema. Siekiant užtikrinti skubios medicinos pagalbos kokybę ir prieinamumą Zarasų greitosios pagalbos skyriui bus nupirktas greitosios pagalbos automobilis.
Siekdama stiprinti skubios medicinos pagalbą Daugpilio regioninė ligoninė projekto lėšomis planuoja įsigyti nešiojamų ventiliatorių, video laringoskopų, video intubacijos sistemą, kitą įrangą būtiną įrangą. Nuolatiniam specialistų rengimui kaip teikti skubią pagalbą bus įsigyti pažangios technologijos manekenai, galintys imituoti įvairias indikacijas patyrusius pacientus. Partneriams bendradarbiaujant bus paruoštos gairės ir veiksmų planas kaip elgtis katastrofos atveju bei surengta katastrofos simuliacija, į kurią įtrauktos regione veikiančios gelbėjimo tarnybos.
Įvertinus bendradarbiavimo pasienio regione galimybes ir partneriams pasirašius bendradarbiavimo sutartį Zarasų rajono gyventojai, kuriems reikalinga skubi medicininė pagalba, galės naudotis kokybiškomis medicinos paslaugomis vos už 25 km esančioje Daugpilio regioninėje ligoninėje.
Dar prieš keletą metų toks projektas būtų buvęs neįmanomas dėl Lietuvos ir Latvijos įstatymų nesuderinamumo. Viliamės, kad šiandien siena Europos Sąjungos viduje nebebus kliūtis gelbėti gyvybes.
Read more Description (LV): Valsts centralizētu medicīnisko pakalpojumu izaugsme ir ietekmējusi nomaļus pierobežas apgabalus, kā piemēram, Zarasu rajons, atdalot nacionālos centrus no kvalitatīvās medicīniskas aprūpes. Sakarā ar tālu izvietojumu nav iespējams nodrošināt pietiekamu neatliekamu medicīnisko palīdzību, un tuvākie no tiem ir no 48 līdz 148 km attālumā. Lai gan cilvēki no Zarasai var saņemt aktīvu ārstēšanu vai profesionālās konsultācijas kvalificēta medicīnas iestādē Viļņā, tomēr gaidīšana bieži aizņem no trim līdz sešām nedēļām.
Vispārējais projekta mērķis ir uzlabot kvalitatīvās medicīniskas aprūpes pieejamību, stiprinot medicīnas iestāžu kapacitāti un sadarbību pārrobežu reģionā Zarasi-Daugavpils.
Galvenais projekta ieguvums būs pārrobežu sadarbības sistēmas izveide starp Zarasu primārās veselības aprūpes centru un Daugavpils reģionālās slimnīcu. Lai nodrošinātu neatliekamās medicīniskās aprūpes pieejamību un pakalpojumu kvalitāti tiks iegādāts ātrās palīdzības transportlīdzeklis Zarasai avārijas dienesta vienībai.
Sekmējot neatliekamo medicīnisko aprūpes pakalpojumu kvalitātes uzlabošanu, Daugavpils Reģionālā slimnīca tiks aprīkota ar mākslīgās ventilācijas sistēmu, pārnēsājamu tromboelastometrijas sistēmu, portatīvo ventilatoru, video laringoskopu un video intubācijas sistēmu, tādējādi palielinot savu kapacitāti kā pārrobežu kvalificētu medicīnisko pakalpojumu sniedzējs.
Ilgstošai neatliekamās aprūpes pakalpojumu uzlabošanai tiks nodrošināta apmācību manekenu iegāde, veiktas pārrobežu katastrofu simulācijas, sagatavotas katastrofu pārvaldības stratēģija un darbības vadlīnijas.
Zarasu rajona iedzīvotāji beidzot varēs saņemt kvalitatīvus medicīnas pakalpojumus Daugavpils reģionālajā slimnīcā - tikai 25 km attālumā, kas uzlabos savu kapacitāti, lai nodrošinātu vēl labāku medicīnisko aprūpi.
Pāris gadus atpakaļ šāda veida projekts vēl nebija iespējams Lietuvas un Latvijas valsts tiesību aktu neatbilstību dēļ. Cerams, ka robeža vairs nav šķērslis, lai glābtu dzīvības.
