The survey took place between 14 and 17 November 2014 and was conducted throughout all of Russia in both urban and rural settings. The survey was carried out among 1600 people over the age of 18 in 134 localities of 46 of the country’s regions. The answer distribution is presented as percentages of the number of participants along with data from previous surveys. The statistical error of these studies does not exceed 3.4%.
DO YOU KNOW THAT NOT LONG AGO IN MOSCOW THERE WAS A LARGE RALLY OF HEALTHCARE WORKERS AGAINST THE CLOSURE AND MERGING OF HOSPITALS AND MATERNITY HOMES, AND AGAINST LAYOFFS OF DOCTORS AND MEDICAL WORKERS AS PART OF A REFORM TO OPTIMIZE THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM?
