This is reported by TASS.
According to Ogul, the problem lies in low on-alertness, a negligent attitude towards primary diagnostics, non-observance of the timing of examinations, irregular free preventive examinations, and the fact that people are educated in medicine “not by doctors, but by bloggers without medical education, but with millions of subscribers. ”
“Although increasing the alertness of the population should be a state task. We need propaganda, people need to be able to talk about the symptoms of cancer and what needs to be done to identify them at an early stage, ”said Ogul.
It is noted that it is planned to spend 1.2 billion rubles a year on the implementation of incentives for primary care doctors to detect cancer in the early stages.
It was previously reported that the average age for diagnosing cancer in Russia is 64.5 years.
On October 14, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova said that in 2020, the Russian government will allocate an additional 50 billion rubles to fight cancer.
Later it became known that in the summer of 2020 the hospital of the Orsk Oncology Center will be opened.
