Steering Committee Healthcare Reforms

It's been a hectic week.

I spent Monday and Tuesday compiling the Agenda of the Steering Committee from the contributions of its members (together with WHO experts, the Program
Coordinator, and our volunteers: Bocconi healthcare management magister Nikola Grpceski and Lidija Rangelovska).

On Wednesday, the Forum of Chairmen of Subcommittees was formed and met to review the work procedures of the subcommittees in the first phase
(i.e., the preparation of the Green Book).

The Forum of Chairmen of the Subcommittees will convene once a month, one hour ahead of the Plenum to: (i) Share experiences and information among the
subcommittees (ii) Coordinate joint sessions of subcommittees.

Voting members can propose "standing (postojani) members". Nominated standing members will be accepted or rejected by a majority vote in the subcommittee in which they were nominated to become standing members.

Standing members will participate in all the meetings of the subcommittee in which they are standing members and will have the same rights and obligations as the voting members, except they will not have the right to vote.

Delegates delegated by voting members have the same rights and obligations as the voting members, including the right to vote.

Members, both voting and standing, can invite expert witnesses to sessions of their subcommittee. Invitations of expert witnesses are subject to approval, by a majority vote, of the voting members of the subcommittee in which the witness will testify.

Expert witnesses will be invited by subcommittees, through the Secretariat.

The plenum of the Steering Committee will convene on June 30 at 10 AM (in Hotel Stonebridge). We will review the Agenda, introduce changes, and adopt it. We will also set the frequency of the meetings of the subcommittees: once a week or twice a month. Then, it's work, work, work ... until we produce the Green Book and go with it to the public.
