UFA, 16 January 2020. /Bashinform News Agency, Azat Gizzatullin/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.

In Bashkortostan, it is required to replace about 300 emergency rural midwifery stations. At a meeting on the implementation of the provisions of the Address of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, the Minister of Health of the Republic Maxim Zabelin said that about 80 stations would be replaced this year. The Head of Bashkortostan, Radiy Khabirov, in this regard, instructed the construction sector to increase in 2020 the number of new rural midwifery stations to be commissioned to 100.

The Minister of Health explained to reporters that the task set by the head of the republic was quite feasible, and the department would begin to study this issue with the Ministry of Finance and the capital construction department.

Radiy Khabirov recalled that since July 1, the federal program for the modernization of primary care of medicine would begin. More than 500 billion rubles are allocated from the budget for this. The task of the republic is to actively work with the federal authorities and get the maximum funds from the country's budget for these purposes.

Speaking about the tasks set by the President of Russia regarding the provision of housing for medical workers, Radiy Khabirov reminded that the heads of municipalities were in charge of this area.

According to Radiy Khabirov, quotas for state-financed openings in medical universities for a number of specialties will become a serious help in solving the personnel problem of the industry.

The Head of the Region also instructed to pay special attention to the provision of medicines, which Vladimir Putin mentioned separately in his Address to the Federal Assembly and said that there must not be any disruption in medical supplies in the regions.
