“Right now, the hospital has a little bit of debt for everyone,” said the head of the hospital, Grigory Semyonov.

“We were threatened that if we did not pay a certain amount of the total debt, future deliveries would be stopped.”

“From now on, we will work within the limits that we will risk not being able to help a specific patient just because there will be no specific material or medicine,” noted Semyonov.

The Ministry of Health evaluates the municipal proposal as general.
