In Primorye, the prosecutor's office will inspect an ambulance station after doctors complained about non-payment of bonuses for working with COVID-19

The Primorye Prosecutor's Office began an investigation after a video message from emergency physicians from Bolshoy Kamen. They complained that they had not received an allowance for working with coronavirus patients for three months. RIA Novosti reports this with reference to a source in the region’s healthcare system.

In the video, doctors said that they did not receive payments for September, October and November. According to them, before this they received an additional payment of 25 thousand rubles per month, although their colleagues in Partizansk, Fokin and other neighboring cities were paid 37.5 thousand rubles.

In addition, ambulance workers reported that in Bolshoy Kamen, with a population of 43 thousand people, there are only three ambulances.

Medical unit No. 98, where emergency doctors work, is part of the FMBA and receives money from the federal budget.
