The Russian leader recalled that last year Russia introduced monthly payments for primary care medical workers.
“I propose to increase their size for specialists who work in small towns, regional centers and villages from March 1 of this year,” Putin said.
He clarified that in cities with a population of 50 thousand to 100 thousand, doctors in addition to the basic salary will receive an additional 29 thousand rubles, nursing staff - 13 thousand rubles, and in settlements with a population of less than 50 thousand people, doctors will receive 50 thousand rubles, mid-level medical staff - 30 thousand rubles.
