Yesterday’s meeting in the “Health Hour” format, Radiy Khabirov, Acting Head of Bashkortostan, began with a discussion of the situation in Sibay. According to him, residents of the city, who have been living in uncomfortable conditions for more than a month due to the unfavorable environmental situation, should receive special care from the medical workers. The Deputy Minister of Health of Bashkiria Dinara Enikeeva, who is now in Sibay, reported that the increase in the incidence among adults had not been recorded, but there was an increase in outpatient children's visits. A team of 15 highly qualified specialized doctors from Ufa began working in Sibay. They have already had 353 appointments with patients.

“The arrived specialized doctors will work in Sibay as long as necessary. The reception of specialists from republican institutions, which has been going on since January 16, is not a one-day event, but a planned consultative practice. All necessary medications are available in sufficient quantities. More than 100 inpatient beds are reserved in the city and anyone who address for medical care will be hospitalized if there are indications for it”, said the Deputy Minister of Health.

Radiy Khabirov asked to pay special attention to the elderly and children who had lung diseases, and, if necessary, to offer them rest and rehabilitation in sanatorium facilities. According to the mayor of Sibay, Rustem Afzalov, the Talkas sanatorium and the Uchalinsky GOK preventative clinic are ready to accommodate residents of the city.

The head of Bashkortostan also commissioned the head physician of the Republican Children's Clinical Hospital Rustem Akhmetshin to form a team of the best specialists of the medical institution and to organize their work in Sibay from Monday, January 21. They should join the five pediatricians who were directed here by Bashkir State Medical University, and be engaged in consultation, and if necessary - the treatment of the children's population of the city.

“Residents of Sibay should receive fast, necessary and qualified medical care. The city should have a proper number of necessary specialists; there should be no waiting time to get a doctor’s appointment. We should work jointly to solve this entire situation”, said Radiy Khabirov.
