UFA, 18 February 2019. /Bashinform News Agency, Azat Gizatullin/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.

The Acting Head of Bashkortostan Radiy Khabirov at today's briefing session criticized the social block of the Government and the regional Ministry of Health. He set them a task to bring the republican clinics to a normal state by the end of this year.

In his opinion, the clinics should welcome patients with bright, cozy and beautiful design. In addition, it's quite cheap to accomplish.

Radiy Khabirov once again reminded that by the end of 2019 a project of external design and routing system of children's and adult polyclinics should be implemented.

The Minister of Health, Maxim Zabelin, explained that patient routing would start from the entrance to the clinic, where there will be separate reception desks. Visual color navigation will also be posted, information machines would be installed. Patients will be divided into those who need emergency care and those who have come for a preventive examination or a planned appointment.

According to the head of the region, he also instructed the heads of municipalities to renovate medical institutions by March 1.

He noted that this issue would be considered in more detail on Thursday at the next “Health Care Hour”.
