Peskov said that Putin will open cancer centers in Russia in VKS mode. Last November, the head of the Ministry of Health, Mikhail Murashko, reported that mortality in Russia from cancer had decreased by 5.6% over the past four years.

He added that over the four years of implementation of the federal project “Fighting Cancer,” it was possible to achieve breakthrough results in the fight against the disease and consolidate positive trends. The Russian leader's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin would open oncology centers in the country on Friday, February 2.
