“Today, in seven months, the compulsory medical insurance system (MHI) has spent almost 300 billion rubles only on the treatment of coronavirus infection in hospitals,” TASS quotes him as saying at the II Forum of Patient-Oriented Innovations “Patient Community for New Medicine”.
Murashko noted that the total consolidated expenses, which are expected to amount to about 1 trillion rubles, are "a serious challenge for the entire financial support system."
Earlier it was reported that 21,559 cases of coronavirus infection were detected in Russia per day.
