The regional modernization of health protection is called to improve the accessibility of medical services for population and now the projects of the health protection modernization programs have already entered the Russian Ministry of health protection and social development from practically all Russian regions. The programs will be funded due to the subsidies of the Federal Obligatory Medical Insurance Fund, the means of the regional consolidated budgets and the means of the territorial obligatory medical insurance funds.

As the news agency “Bashinform” reported earlier, the project of the Republican health protection modernization program presumes first of all the improvement of the material and technical base at the medical institutions RB, their provision with the modern medical equipment and human resources, the rise of wages and complete informatization of the health system.

As Vladimir Putin mentioned during the meeting, the questions of health protection and population’s health are considered of paramount importance for every state. For the last years the noticeable reorganizations in this sphere are undertaken in our country too and the national project “Health” has become one of such reorganizations. For five years the state has spent 590 billion rubles for its development and other 446 billion will be spent in the nearest three years. The program for modernization of the country’s health protection system will start working in parallel with this project beginning from January 1, 2011.
