One extremely interesting and important symptom of this moment is the discrepancy (a kind of "scissors") between the demands of the population and the means we have for meeting these demands. This divergence can be observed in all areas of construction, both economic and cultural. We can also observe this symptom in the field of health care. Looking back on the road covered, we can state certain successes by the 10th anniversary of October, but we can't help noticing how far we have fallen from satisfying the needs of the population. As far as cultural work in general and health care in particular is concerned, the French proverb: "L'appetit vient en mangeant" is more justified than anywhere else.
