Savinova demanded that the waiting time for appointments with a primary care physician in Yekaterinburg be reduced severalfold.

      The waiting time for residents of Yekaterinburg to see a general practitioner at a clinic must be drastically reduced, said Deputy Governor — Minister of Health of the Sverdlovsk Region Tatyana Savinova during a live broadcast on OTV. This was reported by Kommersant-Ural.

      Savinova said she tried to book an appointment at the new Polyclinic No. 3 in the Akademichesky district and found that she could not get to a doctor. Not because of a shortage of specialists, but because the facility's operations were not properly organized.

      According to Channel 4, Savinova learned that she could only see a doctor in two weeks. Appointments with specialists, meanwhile, require months of waiting.

      "If my stomach hurts, I am not prepared to wait three days or two weeks for an appointment with the district doctor," Kommersant-Ural quotes the minister as saying.

      According to Tatyana Savinova, on Saturday she will gather all the heads of Yekaterinburg's polyclinics. Working out the mechanisms will take several months.

      She added that she understands the difficulties facing healthcare, but medical professionals are simply obliged to make GP appointments available; the resources for this exist.
