He clarified that according to the decree of the acting head of the region, Yevgeny Balitsky, 47 healthcare facilities are subject to nationalization. During the work of the commission at the facilities, the state of the property to be registered will be determined.

According to the deputy minister, according to the task, the administration needs to complete the process of registering priority objects, such as fire departments, hospitals of the police department and other objects of social significance within a period not exceeding two months.

After the inclusion of four new regions in the Russian Federation in early October 2022, their integration into the Russian health care system began. The head of the Ministry of Health, Mikhail Murashko, said that the department is preparing regulations on the specifics of the implementation of the state guarantee program in new entities and that work is ahead to compare the lists of medical specialties for issuing Russian licenses to clinics.

It also became known that the provision of medical care to residents of new regions should be carried out at the level of "not lower than the state guarantees provided for by the program." Medical care, as in other regions, should be provided "free of charge" (that is, at the expense of compulsory medical insurance). Until March 1, 2023, territorial compulsory medical insurance funds should appear in the Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions.^[1]
