Health Minister of the Saratov region Vladimir Dudakov met with Atkarsk resident Vitaly Mayorov, who appealed to the direct line to Russian President Vladimir Putin with a complaint about poor performance in the issuance of subsidized drugs to patients with diabetes. This was reported by the governor of the region Roman Busargin on December 19.

"Talked through with him the emerging issues. In November issued all the necessary drugs with a reserve until the beginning of next year, but there are fair comments in general to the organization of this work on the part of the district hospital," he wrote in his Telegram channel.

According to Busargin, the region will improve the issuance of medicines to diabetics.

"The process needs to be restructured and made as convenient as possible for patients, this is the task of the chief physician. We will work through all the comments to improve the work in the institution to issue medicines," - specified the head of the region.

Earlier in the day, a resident of Atkarsk, Saratov region, who has diabetes, during the direct line pointed out the poor provision of insulin and test strips. After that Busargin instructed the Ministry of Health of the region to solve the problem of organizing the timely issuance of discounted medicines.

The direct line with Vladimir Putin in 2024 is combined with a press conference for the media. The format called "Results of the Year with Vladimir Putin" allows the president to convey his position not only on citizens' issues, but also on the state and world agenda, which is often asked by journalists.
