“I will not analyze each specific situation, there were several of them, and I will not even say who is right, who is to blame. Everyone will always have their own truth. I will say only one thing: here the interests of patients are the main thing, the interests of people who are being treated, everything else needs to be set aside: ambition, some kind of resentment, and so on. The main thing is the interests of those who receive medical services. And the leadership of the Ministry of Health and all those who are responsible for the situation in medicine were directly told about this, ”Medvedev said.

In early December, it became known that in the infectious diseases hospital in Novocherkassk, patients were suspended due to the dismissal of doctors from the inpatient department.

In late August, the dismissal of several surgeons of the Central City Hospital No. 1 of Nizhny Tagil and the Demidov Hospital was reported.
