Sevastopol state-financed medical institutions faced with a serious staff shortage – they are lacking doctors and nurses.
The ‘Acting Director’ of the city’s health department Yuriy Voskanyan said that live in the Sevastopol informational channel.
“Today we lack about 600 doctors and 1000 nurses,” he said.
According to the ‘Acting Director’, the staff problem is aggravated with the fact that many pensioners (1100 people) who may retire at any moment work in the public health sector. Another 500 people are persons nearing retirement age.
The city’s ‘government’ is trying to solve this problem by attracting the employees from Russia having allocated 70 million rubles from the local budget to recover relocation costs associated with moving to the occupied peninsula. Voskanyan also promised to build the house with 54 flats for medical workers and increase a number of students in a medical college by three times.
As a reminder, doctors leave their jobs in Sevastopol hospitals in droves.
