Large-scale work in this direction continues. Confirmation of this is the announcement of 2022 as the Year of Healthcare.

The Chairman of the Supreme Council of the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic Alexander Korshunov emphasized that today in the healthcare sector of our republic there are professionals who honor their medical duties, attentive and responsible people. The medical community makes an invaluable contribution to strengthening the health of Pridnestrovians, to the development of the health care system, introducing modern technologies and methods of prevention and treatment into it.

The pandemic has become a serious test for the health care system, emphasized Christina Albul. 649 doctors, 1386 representatives of the middle and 1152 junior medical staff are involved in the fight against the spread of coronavirus. More than a thousand doctors have been ill with COVID-19. There were also cases of death. The memory of the dead was honored today with a minute of silence.

The PMR President Vadim Krasnoselsky called the pandemic a global exam, emphasizing that the Pridnestrovian healthcare system is coping with this test with dignity. Vadim Krasnoselsky focused on the issue of material remuneration for the work of doctors. The President considers that the level of salaries in the healthcare sector is still insufficient. Material incentives are growing gradually. Emphasis is placed on additional payments to the medical staff of infectious diseases hospitals, tuberculosis hospitals, and emergency medical services. Global spending on the fight against COVID-19 will stop with the end of the pandemic and the freed up funds will be used, among other things, to raise salaries for doctors, nurses, and orderlies, the presidential press service notes. Vadim Krasnoselsky presented state awards and documents on conferring the honorary title "Honored Doctor of PMR" to the most distinguished healthcare workers of the republic today.
