The Russian government has allocated almost 1.5 billion rubles for medical examination of children in the new Russian regions following a presidential instruction, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin said.
“At least 220,000 children will be able to undergo health checkups and get pediatricians’ recommendations,” Mishustin said.
“Medics have already begun to work the new territories,” he said. “We’ll send 35 medical teams with specialists from the National Medical Research Center for Child Health who will help detect diseases at an early stage and assign a therapy.
Mushustin ordered Healthcare Minister Mikhail Murashko to monitor this work.
The Lugansk People’s Republic, Donetsk People’s Republic and Zaporozhye and Kherson regions acceded to Russia on September 30, 2022 following the unification referenda.*i*v
