According to the current legislation medical institutions of any specialization and form of ownership are obliged to provide emergency medical care without delay and free of charge. Emergency medical care is not a profile one for many specialists and, within the framework of the current law, it is necessary to introduce an emergency medical care course into the CME system for all medical specialties at least once every five years, which will correspond to both the previously adopted system of postgraduate education and the existing standards of work of medical facilities.
