“In 2020, the issues of staffing psychoneurological boarding schools (PNI) were also raised, in which there is a shortage of rehabilitation therapists, defectologists, clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, nutritionists,” the press service quotes RIA Novosti.
According to the Ombudsman, the solution to this problem could be the extension of social support measures to doctors and nurses, provided for by the programs "Zemsky Doctor" and "Zemsky Feldsher".
On March 11, it became known that in 2021, 18 narrow-profile doctors are planning to move to the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug under the federal program "Zemsky Doctor", 35 more - under the regional program.
