About medical personnel

Medical personnel have long been one of the weaknesses of our medical organization; their insufficient number, their uneven distribution throughout the country, and the inadequacy of their preparation to the requirements of life, were repeatedly discussed at congresses and in the press. But at the present time, when the cultural growth of the population and the socialist restructuring of the economy and everyday life have further increased the need for medical care and made a demand for a medical worker of a new formation, our old need has become especially acute. The December decree of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks on medical care for workers and peasants, the decision of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR dated January 28, 1930, the orders of the NKZ issued in development of these decisions, and finally, the decisions adopted in March this year. At the All-Russian Congress of Health Departments and at a methodological meeting under the Glavprofobra, the reorganization of health care was greatly advanced and at the same time not only put the issue of medical personnel on the order of the day, but also largely determined the ways of its solution.
