Text A. The Development of Public Health in Our Country

Thanks to various health measures our country has achieved high standards of public health and total mortality rate has been decreased. The State has taken the responsibility for man’s health. Public health allocations (ассигнования) are increasing every year. Any Russian citizen wherever he lives may go to the doctor or make a call for him if necessary and he will receive qualified medical aid free of charge.

Every citizen has the right to a sick-leave pay at the State insurance (государственное страхование) expense from the day he falls ill to the moment of his recovery.

The health service has many First Aid Stations with thousands of well-equipped modern ambulances and highly qualified ambulance doctors.

The main principles of the State Public Health are the prevention of diseases, gradual nation-wide dispensarisation and the extension of the lifespan of Russian people.

In order to achieve this extensive measures to control cardiovascular diseases and cancer are being carried out. Great attention is paid to the surrounding environment - the elimination of air pollution with industrial and automobile gases, the control of growing noises in large cities.

Russian people may restore their health in different sanatoriums and rest houses.
