The Ministry of Defense sends nine Far Eastern military hospitals under the jurisdiction of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency. Among them, two maritime institutions — hospitals Stone Angler and villages Barabash. The correspondent of the «B» chairman coastal regional organization «All-Russian Trade Union soldiers» Yuri Tarlavin. It was he who raised the question of the fate of the Far Eastern military medical facilities. — We wrote a letter to the Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu with your request — said Yuri. — The fact that the four military medical facilities in the reform of the ex-Minister Anatoly Serdyukov\’s plan to close. The current head of the Minister Sergei Shoigu halt the dissolution process, but the fate of these hospitals still remained unclear. We have already had negative experiences of military medical facilities in the village of Lazo Dalnerechensk district and village Timothy Ol\’ginsky district — the remaining servicemen there now nowhere to be treated. And here the other day came the reply from the Ministry of Defence to our request: two hospitals — Spassk-Far and Novosysoevke — will the military. Two others — Stone-Angler and Barabash — will retain their medical orientation, but will no longer belong to the Ministry of Defence. A big plus that all medical referrals to hospitals will remain, and now high-quality medical and diagnostic aid will receive not only military but also civilian patients. So from this restructuring are all in positive territory.
