“Support from Russian citizens has always helped us, and I’m confident that the government’s future line-up will rely on the people. We must never forget about the needs of ordinary people. We must always remember how government-level decisions influence the lives of all ordinary Russian citizens.”
“In making primary care more efficient and raising the qualifications of precinct doctors, the quality of their services will undoubtedly go a long way towards improving preventative treatment and the early detection of diseases.”
“As part of these modernisation programmes, modern standards of medical treatment must be introduced, and the system of state guarantees must be effective. Regardless of where a person lives, he or she must have access to free and high-quality medical service.”
“The eternal problem of our healthcare system must be solved. Doctors and mid-level medical personnel should be relieved of the chore of filling out often meaningless paperwork, while truly necessary information should be converted to an electronic format, including case histories. The Ministry of Healthcare and Social Development must quickly finalise the procedure for delivering primary medical assistance and determine the duties of precinct doctors and nurses.”
“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.”
“You know about our project to build the Vostochny spaceport in Russia’s Far East. We could bring on Ukrainian specialists during the early stage of this project – they could take part in the construction of the spaceport. Most important, they should understand when spacecraft will be launched from it, what they will be like and where they will be produced.”
“The Pension Fund administration is called on to organise its work in such a way as to facilitate trouble-free allocation of pensions, benefits and other social payments. I would like to stress that people’s interests must be a priority for the Pension Fund administration.”
“We must be more proactive in introducing online Pension Fund services, in keeping online pension files and in facilitating online cooperation with insurance companies. This will ensure a more cost-effective and efficient disbursement of budgetary allocations. And, what’s much more important, this will provide more convenient pension services for the public. Document allocation deadlines will be shortened, and the number of required documents reduced.”
“Russia is the world’s only country to have carried out a large-scale modernisation of its pension system and raised pensions and other benefits during the economic crisis. As a result, pensions for retirees grew, on average, by nearly 45% last year alone.”
“We must now see that this work continues, attaining our strategic goal step by step. In short, pensions must total at least 40% of a workers’ pre-retirement income.”
