to 2030 in Ukraine could be 30 million, if the field of medicine will remain at a catastrophic level.

to a press conference in UNIAN reported the People's Deputy of Ukraine, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Health Tatiana Bahteeva, referring to forecasts of the World Health Organization concerning the demographic situation in our country.

According to her, the average length of life of Ukrainians in 15 years less than in Europe.

Since 1997, we can not defeat the epidemic of tuberculosis, and by the number of patients with chemoresistant tuberculosis, which does not cure, our country is on the 1 st place, - said Bahteeva. More than a million people are registered at the cancer , about one hundred thousand cancer deaths annually. At the same time, 70% of all medical equipment worn out, - said the people's deputy.

To remedy the situation, in her view, the financing of medicine should not be less than 5% of GDP.

The World Health Organization provides clear criteria for funding the medicine - it should not be less than 5% of GDP. If the percentage below, believe that this area in the country. Ukrainian medicine today is financed by only 2.7% of GDP, of which 85% goes to salaries of health workers , - said Bahteeva.

She also drew attention to inadequate funding of public programs.

In Ukraine, adopted on 25 national programs, of which only 7, but they are financed by only 30-40%. If they all worked, we would not have talked today about the negative demographic situation, the high level of mortality and high morbidity of Ukrainian teenagers - 15 years, our girls and boys have 3-4 chronic diseases - reported Bahteeva.

She believes that the negative trends in Ukrainian medicine is based on the Ministry of Health, which is not making any effort.

Minister of Health is not at the meetings of the Committee on Health BP, but instead sent to the heads of departments of the Ministry of Public Health, who work only a few months, as previously overseen the financing of agriculture, - notes Bahteeva.
