“You can ask not only doctors, but also the medical university professors to participate, and make a kind of a club where a doctor will speak to people about, say, illness prevention and other things,” said Vasily Bochkarev during the briefing session of the Penza regional government that took place on Monday, October 20.

In his opinion, such public awareness actions are very important.

“There are a lot of lone people who can ask these clubs, come there, take part in the discussions, solve their psychological problems,” the head of the region noted.
