We mobilize forces to further improve medical support for the Soviet people

Concern for protecting the health of the people has always occupied an honorable place in the multifaceted creative activities of the Communist Party and the Soviet government. This Resolution is far superior in scale to all previous ones, and therefore it acquires the role of a major event in the history of Soviet health care. Such an assessment of him has already found reflection in the press and in numerous statements by medical workers, as well as all Soviet people. The government's decision to direct part of the funds released as a result of the ongoing reduction in the size of the Soviet Army to improve health care was warmly approved by the entire Soviet people. While in the capitalist countries, under the conditions of the continuing arms race, budgetary allocations for health care are negligible in comparison with the needs of the population, and medicine remains a subject of business, in our country the implementation of such measures turned out to be possible under the conditions of building a communist society.
