Every time they talk about Soviet healthcare, they focus — and this has become a good tradition — on issues of maternal and child health. We can say that here is the holy of holies of our way of life and the holy of holies of Soviet healthcare. Isn't it?
Taking care of a child and a woman is one of the most important activities of the Soviet health authorities. It doesn't even begin in the maternity hospital, but even earlier, much earlier; after all, you need to take care of the expectant mother so that her pregnancy proceeds normally, so that she feels well and healthy after giving birth. There is still a lot to be done in this area, but a lot is being done. In particular, I would like to note that by the end of the ninth five—year plan, 11.5 million children were raised in nurseries and kindergartens, and in the tenth five-year plan, an additional 2.5 - about 3 million places in preschool institutions are being opened.
Our conversation is largely social in nature, and I would like to ask you to answer a question about accelerating the convergence of the level of medical care for residents of the city and the countryside.
There have been some successes here. For example, the network of ambulance stations has increased 1.6 times in the country over the past ten years, and 4 times in rural areas. Outpatient services for the rural population have increased significantly in the ninth five-year plan compared to the eighth and are growing faster than in the city, but still lagging slightly behind the level of this type of medical care achieved here. But the provision of rural population with hospitalization is better than urban, because every villager receives qualified medical care not only in local, but also in urban district hospitals. We attach great importance to the expansion of regional hospitals, which are the leading centers for providing specialized care to rural residents.
Of course, there are many significant shortcomings in the organization of healthcare here. One of the ways to improve it is to solve transport problems, which is especially important given the vast territory of our country. In the tenth five-year plan, we are more actively using specialized modes of transport in rural areas.: These include helicopters that can deliver consultants and take patients to central district and regional hospitals, as well as various types of vehicles — mobile outpatient clinics, laboratories, various dental and fluorographic offices.
