The cancellation of the controversial healthcare procedure in Herzegovina-Neretva Canton is a victory for the patients&#8217; rights to receive equal and non-discriminatory healthcare. This decision has reaffirmed the fundamental principle that patients have the right to choose their preferred healthcare providers, and that <strong>nobody should be separated or discriminated against based on their nationality or any other personal characteristic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The success of this story lies in the power of the people to stand up for their rights and demand accountability from their institutions. <\/strong>Without the collective efforts of citizens, NGOs, and political parties, this discriminatory procedure could have been implemented, and patients could have been denied access to healthcare facilities based on their nationality. The cancellation of this procedure serves as a reminder that the people&#8217;s voice is powerful and that their actions can bring about positive change in society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The public outcry against the procedure reflects the collective will of the people<\/strong> to ensure that their basic rights and values are respected by the institutions responsible for providing them with essential services. It sends a clear message that discrimination and segregation have no place in modern society, especially in the field of healthcare where access to quality care is a fundamental human right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Also read:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/how-reactors-defend-the-rights-of-sex-workers-in-tajikistan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Against discrimination and stereotypes of society: how REActors defend the rights of sex workers in Tajikistan<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/react-aph.org\/en\/progress-of-georgia-in-combating-violence-against-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Progress of Georgia in combating violence against women and its protection mechanisms on practice<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent change in the procedure of the Institute of Health Insurance of Herzegovina-Neretva Canton (ZZOHNK) for scheduling and conducting examinations from primary to specialist healthcare in health institutions within the canton has resulted in a positive outcome for the people, which was largely due to the public\u2019s reaction to the initial controversy over the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":13385,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[80],"tags":[479,470,468],"acf":{"countries":[7538],"partnerskij_material":false,"url_better":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.2 -
