Parents of children with cystic fibrosis again intend to go on single pickets - two months after they stopped the protests, hoping for the return of the necessary drugs to pharmacies and clinics. In December 2019, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation announced that a check had begun on the provision of drugs to those in need, and funds would be allocated for the purchase of original drugs. However, as the parents of the patients told RT, they did not see the promised drugs: doctors continue to prescribe drug analogues that cause side effects. According to activists, since the beginning of 2020, seven people with cystic fibrosis have died in Russia without waiting for the right drugs.
