In the Yaroslavl region, more than 30 zemstvo doctors and paramedics will start working in rural areas this year

YAROSLAVL, September 30 - RIA Novosti. More than 30 zemstvo doctors and paramedics will come to work in the countryside of the Yaroslavl region this year, Governor Mikhail Evraev said.

“More than 20 doctors will come to work in the countryside of the Yaroslavl region by the end of the year. We are creating the necessary conditions for doctors to come and stay in the region. We are building new medical and obstetric centers and outpatient clinics, purchasing modern equipment,” Evraev wrote in a channel on the Max platform.

According to the governor, the “Zemsky Doctor” and “Zemsky Paramedic” programs remain an effective tool in this work. They provide one-time payments for doctors of up to 1.5 million rubles.

The government of the Yaroslavl region has already attracted several dozen specialists from other regions, Evraev noted. He emphasized: residents do not need to go to the regional center to see a highly specialized doctor - for the region this is a solution to the personnel issue and improving the quality of life in the countryside.

“Last year alone, under the “Zemsky Doctor” and “Zemsky Paramedic” programs, 25 specialists came to primary care institutions in the region, 13 of them were doctors. Over the course of this year, more than 30 more, including 23 doctors, will be employed,” Evraev said.

Acting Minister of Health Maria Mozheiko, whose words are quoted by the press service of the regional government, emphasized the importance of material support, modern equipment and working conditions for doctors. Conditions are becoming more and more comfortable thanks to the national project “Long and Active Life”.
