All of us should be actively involved in the implementation of the tasks set before us.

Human health is 60% or more dependent on the conditions of his life. The main reason why we lose people of working age is cardiovascular diseases, oncology, external factors.  The main goal of modern health care is the active role of the person, strengthening their own health.  If it to transfer to society-the creation of a proactive society and public health system. There is a legal framework for the implementation of this system. We all need to work actively with the population to spread the principles of a healthy lifestyle, motivated commitment to a healthy lifestyle, creating conditions for such a lifestyle. Dagestan State Medical University has declared itself a territory of healthy lifestyle. Over the past two years, we have overhauled indoor sports facilities, built two football mini-fields and a student canteen. This year, the project of arrangement of a sports ground for students who live in a hostel for foreign citizens studying in Dagestan State Medical University was implemented,” S. Mammayev said.

He reminded that famous athletes who glorified not only the University, but also Dagestan for the world  graduated from this University. This is the legendary Ali Aliev, a five-time world champion; silver medalist of the Olympic games 1980 Magomedhan  Aratsilov; a legendary archer Makhlukhanum Isayeva.

Mamayev.

Addressing the students, Vladimir Vasiliev congratulated them on the opening of the athletic field and reminded them of The President’s Message, in which the Head of state spoke about  “zemskii  doctor”. “Today we have seriously changed the attitude of the doctor. We are now consistently solving the problem to use the opportunities of  compulsory health insurance Fund in full to stimulate the work of doctors. We have set the task to carry out as many high-tech operations as possible. Only last year 30 per cent increase in the number of surgeries for cardio stenting. The situation correlates exactly with the fact that we still have a few years ago, cardio stents was higher in price in  Russia on average by 30 percent. We equated them in the course of trading, and immediately increased the number of operations by exactly 30 percent. So we need more good people. And so we will move in all directions.

We agreed that all high-tech operations should be carried out here in Makhachkala to free people from unnecessary trips to other cities of Russia. This will affect the salaries of  both doctors and nurses, “, — said Vladimir Vasiliev. He also said about the plans to make every effort to ensure that people receive quality medical care in district hospitals, and they did not have to go to Makhachkala.

The most important thing the President talked about was the “zemsky doktor”. In Russia it was always so that the doctor went to his patient. We want to revive this in rural areas, additional funds will be allocated for this. This approach is shared by our Government and our Parliament. I think that together we will now make sure that the doctor, who will go to the countryside, will receive support. Moreover, we will create conditions for it, payments will be made, a system of retraining and training will be organized. We will make sure that their career was not only their personal business. We intend to do it, ” the Head of Dagestan said.

At the end of the official part of the event, the honorary right to raise the flag of the Russian Federation was granted to Deputy Chairman of the Committee on health and social policy of the People’s Assembly Magomedkhan Aratsilov and resident of the DSMU, master of sports in athletics Tamara Suleymanova.
