According to her, Russian doctors deserve special gratitude. She noted that the WHO recognized the country 1 of the leaders in this area. The survival rate of children after diagnosis and treatment of malignant neoplasms exceeds 83%, and in some localizations reaches 98%. Kotova stressed that this is a WHO assessment, not a self-assessment of Russia.
The deputy minister also said that infant mortality in the country fell to the lowest level in history - 3.3 ppm. Russia is now among the countries with the lowest values of this indicator in the world.
Kotova is currently on a working trip to Turkmenistan. On October 10, she took part in the international exhibition and scientific conference “Health, Education and Sport in the Renaissance of a New Era of a Powerful State”.
