DPR’s Pushilin on medics’ payrise

Donetsk, Sep 1 – DAN. Donetsk Republic Head Denis Pushilin said on Tuesday that a phased increase in DPR medics’ wages would bring them to the level of the Russian Federation’s Rostov region.

The payrises are scheduled for January 1, 2021, July 2021 and January 2022.

Pushilin made the statement at a meeting with Gorky Donetsk National Medical University (DonNMU) students. He offered the students his best wishes on the beginning of the new academic year underlining that the university “gives them the exclusive opportunity to become top specialists.”

“You’ve made a conscious choice to join people’s life and health protection service. It’s a hard, responsible and honourable decisoin,” he said.

DonNMU student initiation ceremony was held for 923 university students, 286 lyceum pupils and 35 medical college students. DonNMU rector Grigory Ignatenko called them a large future reserve of human resources.
