Министр: За каждый час выезда к больным COVID медикам добавят 100 рублей

The regional operational headquarters decided to allocate 10 million rubles from the reserve fund of the regional government for incentive payments to primary care physicians. We are talking only about those of them who go to patients at home on calls. This was announced to journalists on January 20 by the Minister of Health of the region Alexander Kravchenko.

“For each visit to patients with CORONAVIRUS infection and suspicion of it in the amount of 100 rubles for each initial call in January and February 2022,” the HEAD of the department specified.

According to him, another 10 million rubles from the reserve fund will be used to purchase oxygen for hospitals. Another 13 million rubles will go to organizing rapid testing of patients for a new coronavirus infection in hospitals and at home. About 12 million authorities allocate to solve transport problems with the delivery of doctors to patients. For 6 million rubles, they will purchase tablet computers for medical workers who go home. In total, about 50 million rubles will be allocated for measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.

According to Kravchenko, at least two strains of coronavirus are circulating in the region today, but “it’s not very correct to talk about which in what quantity, since sequencing is not routinely performed.”

Mortality in covid beds remains at the same level, but there is a fear that with an increase in the number of admissions to hospitals and an increase in viral load, the number of deaths will increase. At the same time, the official assured that there would be enough covid beds for all patients.
