158 new doctors and nurses started working in medical institutions of the Smolensk region

Over the past month, healthcare institutions of the Smolensk region were replenished with 158 new specialists – doctors and nurses, who were employed in budget medical organizations of the region. A significant part of the new state was made up of graduates who signed contracts for targeted training.

The largest number of specialists – 29 people – came to work in the Smolensk city clinic. The team of the Smolensk Regional Children's Clinical Hospital was seriously strengthened, where seven doctors were admitted, including a pediatric oncologist-celevic, anesthesiologist-resuscitator-celevic, two pediatricians, a pulmonologist, an endoscopist and a radiologist. The staff also included medium-sized medical workers: four nurses, an X-ray technician, a paramedic-laborator and an anesthetic nurse.

New staff have joined other key institutions:

In the Smolensk Oncological Dispensary there are anesthetic nurses, radiographers, radiologist and medical laboratory technician.

In the Smolensk Regional Clinical Hospital - a trainee doctor of the anesthesiology-resuscitation department.

In the Clinical Hospital of Emergency Medical Care there are target doctors: obstetrician-gynecologist, cardiovascular surgeons and anesthesiologists-resuscitators.

In addition, the specialists began to conduct reception in the Clinical Hospital No. 1, Smolensk dental clinic, ambulance station and central district hospitals of municipal districts.

Governor Vasily Anokhin stressed that this is an important step to increase the availability of medical care both in Smolensk and outside the regional center. To support young personnel trained under target contracts, the region has a set of measures: increased scholarships, compensation for housing, lump sum payments for employment and assistance in solving the housing issue.
