Dmitry Milyaev: in the Tula region, health is regarded as the most valuable asset
At the National Centre RUSSIA, the Governor of the Tula
Region, Dmitry Milyaev, met with residents and experts as part of the series
"Platform of the Future: Region-2030. 100 Steps". The main topic of
discussion was health and longevity.
"The foundation of a long life is quality healthcare
combined with a responsible attitude to one’s health. Such responsibility needs
to be nurtured: physical exercise, giving up bad habits, and active, engaging
leisure," noted the governor.
He emphasised that while individual responsibility is vital,
the authorities’ task is to ensure access to medical care at all levels. In
recent years, the primary level of healthcare in the Tula region has been
significantly strengthened: feldsher-midwife stations have been built and
renovated, and they are now equipped with modern facilities and transport.
Key measures:
— In 2024, for the first time in many years, the region
achieved federal standards for the number of doctors;
— Monthly allowances have been introduced for specialists
over 60 years of age — thanks to this, more than 300 doctors have returned to
work;
— Today, 1,100 targeted students are studying under
programmes for subsequent employment in the region’s medical institutions.
Alongside medicine, considerable attention is paid to
prevention: the development of sports infrastructure, cultural initiatives, and
healthy leisure activities. Employers in the region are increasingly supporting
their staff by providing benefits, medical check-ups, and additional insurance
programmes.
"Our task is to ensure that people remain healthy for
as long as possible. To achieve this, it is necessary to instil healthy
lifestyle habits from early childhood," stressed Dmitry Milyaev.
Meetings with governors are held as part of the programme of
the National Centre RUSSIA — "Platform of the Future: Region-2030. 100
Steps", which is aimed at achieving national development goals and
improving citizens’ quality of life.
