UFA, 4 March 2019. /Bashinform News Agency/ translated by Tatiana Aksyutina/.

More than half of the calls that are received by the Interim Minister of Health of Bashkortostan Maxim Zabelin on social networks and instant messengers relate to problems of oncological aid rendering. As the head of the department explained, residents of the republic complained about the impossibility of making an appointment, bribery, and non-issuance of the necessary drugs.

Therefore, Maxim Zabelin launched a poll on social networks: “Are you satisfied with the provision of oncological medical aid in the Republic of Bashkortostan?” with the answers: “Yes, I am satisfied”, “No, I am not satisfied”.

“I will also be grateful if you share your stories, negative or, on the contrary, positive experience of treatment by our oncologists. I firmly promise that according to the results of our direct communication, appropriate conclusions will be made and the necessary measures will be taken to remedy the situation, as well as worthy doctors will be encouraged”, the Interim Minister of Health of the republic wrote.
