The Minister of defence of the Russian Federation General of the army Sergei Shoigu spoke about expressed during the discussion of the state budget for 2017 in the state Duma the proposal to include the military in the mandatory medical insurance system.
According to him, the relevant reasoning initially – incorrect formulation of the question. “Military medicine is an integral part of military organization, it has always been and still is the most efficient and innovative part of national health care, – said the head of the military Department. – We need to think not about how to lead military medicine to the average denominator, and Vice versa – how public to raise medicine to the level of the military”.
The Minister of defence is convinced that military medicine will continue to develop in the structure of the Armed Forces. “It is our firm position”, – said Sergey Shoigu.
We will remind, on the eve of the debate in the State Duma of the Russian Federation of draft state budget for 2017 has been proposed to increase the volume of Fund of obligatory medical insurance by the inclusion in the system (OMS) to all the military and reducing military-medical institutions.
