A new dentistry was built and put into operation in the village of Preobrazhenskaya in Kikvidzen district.

In parallel with the repair of premises, training for the industry is underway – in 2025, 20 students were enrolled in the Volgograd State Medical University (VolgSMU) as part of a targeted reception from the region’s health committee in the direction of “Dentistry”. These measures are implemented within the framework of the tasks for the further development of the health care system set by Governor Andrey Bocharov and aimed at increasing the availability of medical services to residents of remote settlements.
