What we are waiting for, above all, is professional
0:02
autonomy. We spent on the healthcare modernization program
0:04
for healthcare modernization
0:06
only 100 billion rubles (about 1 billion USD). Can a doctor
0:08
work as an independent professional? I want
0:11
to understand what is being done to me,
0:13
why people should talk to me,
0:16
and explain their actions. All of us have
0:18
a little bag of money allocated from
0:21
the budget. And what are we supposed to talk about? About how
0:23
they will leave two patients in this ward, while
0:25
the others will die at home? Do you agree with
0:27
the statement that our medicine,
0:29
our medical education, is somehow
0:31
stuck at the level of the 1960s? 14,000
0:34
rubles in salary (roughly 140 USD) — we are creating
0:36
the conditions for bribery. As things stand now,
0:39
according to the standard, a general practitioner is given 8
0:42
minutes per appointment. That is absolute madness.
