Moscow protest against budget cuts in health

In Russia, hundreds of people demonstrated Sunday in Moscow to protest the budget cuts especially in the field of health.

These cuts are part of the framework of a plan of reorganization of the health system in the Russian capital. This should lead to hospital closures and the dismissal of part of the medical staff.

"That's a protest movement, said Mark Galperin, MD e member of the collective Civil Initiative '. They want to cut the budgets for health and education. They want to turn doctors, merging schools. So of course we are not happy and we do know! "

"I'm really shocked by what the authorities do to people, says Margarita, Muscovite. She believes that "the leaders go against the aspirations of the people."

The authorities ensure that nothing in the plan of reorganization of the health system is stopped and that discussions are still ongoing.
