AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoPrimary Care: Estonia’s government has approved rules requiring health centers to arrange up to three months of temporary cover when a family doctor leaves. Doctors generally must give six months’ notice, and patient-list caps will rise. Caregiver Support: Family caregivers receive an average of about €61 a month, but benefits vary widely by municipality. The social affairs minister says support should reflect care needs, not where people live. Access to Care: A shortage of specialized care is leaving about 2,000 people waiting for services, while more patients are travelling outside their home counties to see doctors. Flu vaccine deliveries to Estonia have also been delayed. Child Health: A study including Estonian children found that a new clinical definition identifies fewer children as having obesity than BMI-based measures, focusing on related health problems and limits on daily activities. Infectious Disease: Estonia’s health authorities say the suspected plague case in Russia has not raised the country’s risk level.
