Oil Windfall Allows Russia to Use Surplus on Improving Demographics And Health Service

Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev: “When we prepared the budget, we judged by the fact that it should surely be socially focused. It's the most important direction. So money allocated for social support, the development of education, health service, and culture, is still the budget's main expense item. The budget should also be aimed at reaching national goals of development, set by the Presidential Decree.”
There are many goals, all of them important, but there are top-priority ones. Demographics and health service - a national project worth almost three trillion rubles. This money will be used for building hospitals, polyclinics, and paramedic-obstetrician units throughout the country. They will be set with high-end medical equipment. Specialists will be supported with housing and decent salaries. A separate line in the budget is maternity capital. It will rise. Next year, it will be 466,000 rubles ($7,300). The minimum wage will rise as well.
