AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoMental Health Care: Ida-Viru County’s only psychiatric hospital is closing because it cannot find enough specialists. Ahtme Hospital’s inpatient services will transfer to Ida-Viru Central Hospital until next spring, but local officials warn that some patients may struggle to travel to Tallinn or Tartu for care. Health Data: Estonia’s proposed rules for access to medical records are pulling in different directions: one bill would set stricter conditions for officials, while another would merge major health databases. A legal expert warns that passing both could leave access rules contradictory. Maternity Services: Hiiumaa residents can no longer give birth on the island, adding to concerns about access to care outside Estonia’s main centres. Family Support: Estonia’s family caregivers receive as little as €60 a month, with no national scheme to support them.
