“There are many doctors in my family.

Therefore, I know about the problems of the medical corps.

I agree that medical workers should be supported,” the parliamentarian said.

However, according to her, it is wrong to single out only health workers in this matter.

“It is necessary to stimulate the birth rate in the whole society, to support representatives of strategic professions as well.

But in general, the message, of course, is correct - the institutions to support motherhood must continue to be developed, ”concluded Lantratova.

Earlier, State Duma deputy Ivan Sukharev proposed a quarter increase in the amount of maternity capital for employees of the state healthcare system.

The legislator noted that the coronavirus pandemic reminded everyone of the importance and demand for the profession of a medical worker, and also revealed an acute problem of a shortage of medical personnel, which has not yet been resolved.
