Since the beginning of the road season, under the national project “Infrastructure for Life,” 290 sections of regional and local roads leading to medical institutions have been restored to regulatory condition. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“The government, together with the regions, is carrying out extensive work to update routes to healthcare institutions. We strive to ensure that quality medical care is available to everyone, regardless of their place of residence—be it a small village or a metropolis. Since the beginning of the year, under the national project ‘Infrastructure for Life,’ 290 road sections leading to hospitals, clinics, medical centers, and feldsher-obstetric stations (FAPs) have been brought to regulatory standards. Their total length exceeded 1,000 kilometers. This means that for thousands of patients, the journey to medical institutions has become more predictable, comfortable, and as safe as possible,” said Marat Khusnullin.
The condition of the road directly affects the speed of the ambulance’s arrival, the time of patient transport to the hospital, and so on. The better the quality of the roadway, the faster the patient will receive help.
“In total, by the end of the year we plan to bring 524 sections of regional and local roads leading to medical institutions into compliance with standards – that is over 2.6 thousand kilometers. During repair work, we use a comprehensive approach: parking lots are arranged near healthcare facilities, safe crossings for pedestrians, sidewalks with gentle ramps and tactile tiles for people with disabilities. All this ensures accessibility of medical care for everyone,” noted Minister of Transport Andrey Nikitin.
Creating a new quality infrastructure that will make people’s lives more comfortable and safer is the principle that has been maintained since the very beginning of the national project.
“In 2025, under the national project ‘Infrastructure for Life,’ 530 sections leading to medical institutions were renovated, with a total length of 2.4 thousand km. All facilities are inspected by specialists at each stage of their implementation, often together with proactive local residents – public inspectors. After the official acceptance of a particular road section or artificial structure, a warranty applies to the completed works: the contractor assumes the obligation to fix defects at their own expense if they arise during the warranty period,” emphasized the head of the Federal Road Agency, Roman Novikov.
In Blagoveshchensk, Vasilenko Street leading to the Amur Regional Clinical Hospital has been repaired. This is one of the largest and most technically equipped multidisciplinary medical institutions in the Far East. Approximately 180 thousand patients receive help here annually. The hospital complex, located in the 3rd microdistrict of Blagoveshchensk, covers an area of 7 hectares and consists of seven buildings. The hospital’s structure includes the regional vascular and perinatal centers.
In Saint Petersburg, the repair of two road facilities leading to major medical institutions has been completed. Their total length was more than 3.5 km.
In the Vyborgsky district of the city, a section of the road on Bolshoy Sampsoniyevsky Prospekt over 2 km long has been renovated – from Smolyachkova Street to the 1st Murinsky Prospekt. Road workers laid about 40,000 sq. m of new asphalt concrete pavement on the carriageway and sidewalks, and applied new markings using thermoplastic materials.
Several large medical facilities are located on the avenue, which receive a large flow of patients daily. Among them are Children’s City Polyclinic No. 11, the clinic of the Saint Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University, and the Saint Olga Children’s City Hospital. This clinic is an institution with a vast scientific base and centuries-old traditions of the Leningrad school of pediatricians. The medical institution receives more than 100,000 patients annually, and the doctors perform over 15,000 surgeries.
A section of Mechnikov Avenue over 1.5 km long has been brought up to regulatory standards in the Kalininsky District of Saint Petersburg. Mechnikov Avenue is an important part of the city’s transport framework, providing access to the Peter the Great Clinic. It is currently the base of the Northwest State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov. The medical institution operates 26 specialized surgical and therapeutic departments. Assistance is provided here across a wide range of areas.
Extensive work is being carried out in Bryansk. In the Sovetsky District, a major overhaul of Sovetskaya Street has been completed on the section from Trudovy Lane to Krakhmalyov Street. The length of the project is over 1 km. Several medical institutions are located here at once: Children’s Polyclinic No. 2, the Regional Children’s Hospital, Maternity Hospital No. 2, and the Medical and Physical Culture Dispensary.
In the Bezhitsky district, a 0.7 km section of Kamozina Street has been completely overhauled. It leads to Bryansk City Hospital No. 1. The institution includes a surgical building, a perinatal center, and a women’s consultation clinic. Up to 200 patients seek medical assistance here daily.
