In the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson region, medical institutions are staffed with only 33% qualified doctors.

This was reported by the Kherson publication Most, citing occupation sources.

The so-called deputy head of the illegal government of the Kherson region, Serhii Cherevko, says that under the program to attract doctors from the Russian Federation and Crimea, only dozens of doctors arrived in the left-bank Kherson region, instead of the expected hundreds of specialists.

It is also indicated that the illegal authorities of the temporarily occupied Kherson region are going to actively attract doctors to the left-bank Kherson region by providing them with apartments.

It was previously reported that the Kherson region plans to pay material assistance to young specialists who return to work in the deoccupied territory of the region.
