The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation proposed to introduce an alternative to conscription in the army for conscripts with medical education
They can be sent to work in the primary health care in the Far East.
"We want to try the introduction of an alternative service, when a young man drafted into the army with a medical education can work this time in the primary health care in the Far East. The shortage of personnel is quite acute in this region," RIA Novosti quotes Viktor Fisenko, Deputy Minister of Health of the Russian Federation.
Earlier it became known that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation launched a program for the psychological selection of soldiers. It will affect both conscripts and contract employees. Specialists of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will identify military personnel who are prone to antisocial behavior.
It is noted that during the operation of the system, psychologists did not let about 2 thousand people with potentially unstable psyche into the army.
