“Relying on the experience of the national project, we are now launching regional programmes for upgrading healthcare. The regions of the Urals Federal District will receive an additional 50 billion roubles in 2011-2012 for their implementation, in particular for the repairs of hospitals and clinics, the purchase of new equipment and the introduction of modern medical standards. It is essential to support primary healthcare centres, especially in the countryside.”

“We have paid special attention to pregnant women and newborns. About eight million women and four million babies received medical care as part of the maternity certificate programme. It should be noted that an efficient and competitive environment has been already established in this healthcare sector: a woman has the right to choose the maternity clinic that will provide her with the most comfortable conditions for her care.”

“As you know, five years ago we began implementing a national project in Russia’s agroindustrial sector and then used this project as the basis for a government programme to support the sector. We have invested over 440 billion roubles from the federal budget within this framework. In total, taking into account regional allocations, 700 billion roubles have been put to support agriculture over the past years. And experience has shown that we have been making the right decisions – these investments are now paying off.”

“Steps have been taken lately to develop the education system as part of the national project Education. I think that a great deal has been done.However, whenever there is a large-scale project, there are typically more problems that we haven’t solved than ones that we have. This is to be expected. It is a natural part of the process. In higher education, we are counting on the strong, and I believe that it is the proper approach. We are setting up a network of national federal universities and research universities, and will earmark additional funding for them.”

“Five years ago we launched the priority national project Health, which has proved to be very effective, showing that good results can be achieved if we concentrate financial and administrative resources on high-priority issues. We mentioned several figures today that support this. This national project has paved the way for the next step in this critical area of government activity, the modernisation of the Russian healthcare system.”

"Also, I see a danger in the bureaucracy growing accustomed to national projects and seeing them as nothing special. We cannot and will not tolerate this outlook. I mentioned this already at the beginning, and you well know that the national projects were successful because we concentrated our administrative and financial resources on them and imposed special oversight on the use of these resources. And these ingredients for success cannot be forgotten. Because the goals pursued by national projects are too important. We cannot let these projects become routine."

“Cash incentives for local clinic personnel will continue in 2010-2012 as part of the Healthcare project; the programme will encompass about 315,000 medical personnel. Anti-infection programmes involving broader regular checkups and vaccination will be continued, annually covering 22 million people each. Government programmes to support treatment of cardiovascular disorders, cancer and tuberculosis will be continued, too. We will be improving medical care for victims of traffic accidents. As you know, we have already achieved positive results here, and we will certainly continue on this track.”

"President Dmitry Medvedev spoke in his state of the nation address about the New School programme. The government is giving schools and education in general a lot of attention. We have a priority national project in education. We will continue this project."

"Also, there is another ugly problem, absolutely unacceptable in a civilised society. I would like to draw your attention to it now. Unfortunately, child abuse is still quite frequent in Russia, and orphans sometimes fall victim to it. There have been flagrant and ugly child abuse cases reported in orphanages and sometimes even in adoptive families. I am asking prosecution authorities and social services to keep an eye on the issue, put additional effort into it and submit additional proposals on legal protection against child abuse."

"I also think that adoptive parents should be selected and prepared with more discrimination. It is not a question of arranging just any adoption for a child, but to give the child a real family and a safe and happy life."
