Sochi doctors will be able to privatize service apartments taking into account the entire work experience

In Sochi, the rules for the privatization of office housing provided to medical workers were adjusted. Now, when determining the necessary ten-year experience, all periods of professional activity of specialists in health care institutions located in the city will be taken into account, regardless of their departmental affiliation.

As explained by the head of Sochi Andrey Prosbynin, the changes are designed to support medical workers who have been working at the resort for many years. According to him, the transition of city hospitals and clinics into regional ownership should not deprive specialists of the opportunity to use the right to register occupied housing in ownership.

In 2010-2018, the Sochi administration provided doctors with more than 200 service apartments. In December 2018, municipal health care institutions became state property of the Krasnodar Territory. At the same time, the employees retained the right to use the previously provided housing for the period of work in regional medical organizations.

The procedure for privatization of apartments from the municipal specialized housing stock was approved in June 2022. Employees of public health institutions of the Krasnodar Territory who work directly in Sochi at full-time and have at least ten years of experience can take advantage of this opportunity. This right is also provided for pensioners from among these professionals.

The adopted changes allow to include in the general experience both work in municipal medical institutions of Sochi and subsequent activities in organizations of regional subordination in the city.

At the same time, from January 1, 2019, new service apartments from the specialized municipal fund are not provided to doctors. To solve the housing issue, there is another program - the provision of apartments from the municipal fund of commercial use. Such housing is issued under a contract of employment without the right of subsequent privatization. Employees of state medical institutions and enterprises of the region who work in Sochi and are not provided with housing in accordance with the established accounting norm can apply for it.

Since 2022, nine apartments have been provided to medical workers under this program. Three more accommodations are in the process of being provided.
