Dmitry Morev: “Dispensation is not a formality”

In a private clinic, a health check-up costs 10-12 thousand rubles, but Arkhangelsk residents can pass it for free, the head of the administration of Arkhangelsk writes on his page in the social network. We talked about the role of medical examinations with the chief doctors of medical institutions at a meeting in the administration.

Although polyclinics are subordinate to the Ministry of Health, not the municipality, they work for citizens, so interaction with them is the focus of the administration.

Clinical examination is not a formality, but a real opportunity to check your health. It includes oncology screenings, examinations and tests, allowing at the age of 18 to assess the risks of a heart attack.

This is especially important for the working population: early detection of diabetes, heart and vascular problems retains efficiency and allows you to continue your career.

Stereotypes “useless”, “formally”, “queues” are outdated. You can undergo medical examination at the place of work or residence - in any polyclinic of the city. Take your day at work or come on Saturday. Companies can arrange to conduct a number of studies right in the workplace. I urge employers to take care of staff and residents to take care of themselves.

The chief doctors separately discussed communal issues and approaches to healthcare institutions. We agreed to prioritize together.
