This decision came today participants of the working group under the leadership of Vladivostok mayor Igor Pushkarev on proposals of the Vladivostok city public organization of veterans of war, labour, Armed forces and law enforcement agencies. First, the discussion touched on creation on the island of Russian rehabilitation center for the veterans of the great Patriotic War and veterans of local wars. «Rehabilitation centre is a centre that holds the restorative treatment after serious illnesses or operations. But we already second year live in such conditions, when powers on organization and provision of medical care given to the level of subjects of Federation and municipality of these powers not. If things change, if we are to empower, then it will pass», — commented on the suggestion of the Chairman of organization of veterans of Jacob Kahn Deputy head of the administration of Vladivostok Elena Shegolev. As noted by Deputy head of the city, today the administration of Vladivostok can talk about creation of recreational and Park zones of rest, but not on medical centres. The outcome of the discussion of the proposals was the decision to consolidate authorities with citizens to appeal to the Governor with a proposal to create such a centre. From its part, the administration promises to help anyone that is in the competence of the municipality: spend a light, water, make the road to health center. The next question was the proposal by James Kahn establishment of a network of municipal pharmacies for provision of medicines to the veterans of all categories. «The participants of war and invalids, belong to the privileged categories of citizens, which, in accordance with Federal legislation, should be provided with necessary medicines, but these powers are in charge of the administration of the territory», — commented Natalia Yashin, Deputy head of the Department for the execution of programs on support of the population. Currently servicing a preferential category of citizens is carried out through a network of pharmacies «Овита» and a number of pharmacies other form of property. In Vladivostok there are 4 drugstores, one of them, pharmacy № 128 provides preferential categories of citizens insulin, potent drugs. At the moment, to supply of preferential medicines ready to join drugstore № 54. But, according to Natalia Yashin, the matter is not in the form of property pharmacies or their lack in the city, the problem is in the system: the benefit, the benefit is often not implemented. The cost of drugs needed to veterans in serious conditions, much more than the sum allocated for them remissions 628 rubles a month. This question was also decided to forward the health Department of the Primorsky territory, again pay attention краевиков on the problem of drug provision in the regional capital and apply for the increase of the amount of the benefit. «We wrote even to the President, asked to consider the lack of medicines in pharmacy criminal offence, to punish those who does not provide ill medicines», — said Yakov Kan. The head of the veteran organizations of the city continued to insist on increasing the number of pharmacies, releasing a preferential medicines and suggested to restore the drugstore clinics. «Igor Sergeyevich, people get sick, and there is no medicine. I, for example, a month goes up to 2 thousand rubles for medications, — said the veteran. Veterans don\’t really care whose powers. We know that we can turn to our mayor, who cares about our health. We will always support all initiatives will help than we can!»
