24.04.2009State medicine is turning into a "lazy monopoly", which even the care of some consumers does not force to change. The more doctors and places in hospitals in the region, the worse the health of the population.

17.02.2009The positivity of the crisis may consist in the fact that it will force officials to build a more effective scheme for providing medicines, – said the president of the Society of Evidence-based Medicine Specialists K.Danishevsky, – and give an impetus to sweep out the garbage in beautiful packages from the pharmacological market.
