During his annual report to the State Duma, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin spoke about the implementation of the initiatives of the United Russia party in 2021.
Thus, he noted that the number of applications for free gas connection to households exceeded 750 thousand and more than 300 thousand contracts were signed. It was also proposed to expand measures to support beneficiaries during social gasification throughout the country and standardize the cost of the minimum set of equipment for a number of categories of citizens. Such support measures are currently being implemented in 63 regions.
According to Mishustin, over a thousand polyclinics in the regions were renovated last year, more than 37,000 medical equipment was purchased. 5.5 thousand private vehicles for doctors and paramedics and 1600 ambulances were sent to the citizens of the Russian Federation. In addition, approximately 3,000 FAPs were built and replaced for approximately 8 million rural residents.
About 1.5 thousand mobile medical complexes were delivered to small settlements where it was not possible to organize FAPs. More than 3.5 million people were examined there. And this work will continue.
Mishustin talked about giving hot meals to primary school students. “On the initiative of our president, together with the regions, we gave free hot meals to primary school students. So 7.5 million children. This is not direct financial but tangible assistance to the families in which they grew up. Especially if it is not about one child, but about several. And if moms and dads work all day. We talked about this recently at a meeting with the United Russia group. “I asked MP Tatyana Golikova to keep the issue under special control,” he said.
In addition, broadband Internet has been installed in all hospitals, polyclinics, FAPs, colleges and universities in Russia, in total more than 75,000 socially significant institutions.
According to him, last year 324 kindergartens attended by more than 50,000 children were opened in various regions of Russia and nearly a hundred schools were built. In addition, 400,000 children were listened to last year as part of the child tourist refund program. This program will continue.
