The effect of the intervention of Measure 2.3 of the Human Capital Operational Programme is primarily the improvement in the state of health of the working-age population through the development of preventive programmes and programmes oriented at returning to work of people with diagnosed occupational diseases, the increase in health safety of society due to the systematic improvement in skills and qualifications of medical staff at various levels, and a significant improvement of the quality of the services provided in healthcare institutions, including through the increase in the number of hospitals with accreditation certificates.
