The number of doctors is increasing.
The governor of the Saratov region, Roman Busergin, spoke about how the region solves the problem of the lack of medical personnel in the health institutions. He noted: There are positive aspects, but there is still work to be done.
During the last 5 years, the number of doctors increased by 19.7% (from 53.52% to 73.25%). This year, the indicators for increasing the personnel in the hospitals are 75% for doctors and 83% for paramedical workers. According to the head of the area, this is a mandatory minimum and the entire health unit has been tasked to strive to exceed these goals as much as possible.
