Achievements and prospects of health care development in Tatarstan

Last year, a detachment of thousands of medical workers, together with the entire Soviet people, solemnly celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of Soviet health care. In a short historical period, significant successes have been achieved in protecting the health of the people, which is clearly seen in the example of the Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. The budget of the republic for health care in 1968 exceeds the appropriation of 1913 by 35 times. The sharp growth of the hospital network made it possible to increase the provision of the population with beds by more than 6 times. Currently, about 48 thousand people work in health care institutions of the republic, including about 6,000 doctors and more than 20,000 paramedical workers.
