Donetsk, Jun 21 — DAN. Donetsk People’s Republic medical personnel have received more than 1.1 billion rubles in payments for the provision of assistance to wounded servicemen and people hurt during the special military operation, DPR Healthcare Minister Dmitry Gartsev said on Wednesday.
“Pursuant to government resolution, we’ve already transferred 1.146 billion rubles to the accounts of medics working at in-patient hospitals, ” Gartsev said.
Payments have been deposited to medics’ accounts since January 1, 2023, but some jobs like ambulance driver were left out. These errors will be corrected so that the resolution can apply to these jobs, he said.
