He reminded that in 2019 the first centre of outpatient cancer care had been opened in the region, and in the current year it was planned to launch the second centre at the premises of the Burdenko regional hospital.

"Now we are working on a project to create the most modern diagnostic centre for nuclear medicine, worth over 1 billion roubles. The launch of such a high-tech centre will make it possible to detect the pathological process in oncology, neurology and cardiology at a very early stage, when the disease has not yet begun to spread, and therefore we will be able to react in time and to save lives," said the head of the region.
