Assembly with the tasks up to 2030. One of the key topics of the President's
speech was family. The current year has been declared the Year of the Family,

rubles - have been allocated for the implementation of this national project
until 2030. This amount of funding includes a project to modernize primary
healthcare. The block of programs includes measures to create and equip women's

Life
expectancy of Russians by 2030 should reach 78 years, the deputy chairman
