Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said that by the end of 2022, life expectancy in Russia should be 72.4 years, which, according to him, is 2.4 years more than last year. Murashko talked about this in an interview with the TV channel. “Russia 24”.
According to the minister, given the high incidence rate in the first four months, human life expectancy was initially assumed to fluctuate within 71 years.
“Life expectancy will be higher than 72.4 years. These are indicators that improved by 2.4 years compared to 2021. This is a guess. I actually think they’re going to be a little higher,” he said.
Formerly Mikhail Murashko instructed Authorities in the regions to strengthen control over the work of services that will be involved in the provision of emergency and emergency medical care during the New Year holidays. He noted that during the holidays the work of the entire health system should be strengthened, and citizens should be able to receive high-quality medical care.
