The Ministry of Health of Russia has prepared a draft program of state guarantees for free medical care for 2026. The document provides for the possibility of round-the-clock presence of relatives and legal representatives next to patients if their assistance is necessary for care, reports OSN. Currently, in most hospitals, visiting patients is restricted by internal regulations and established visiting hours. If the new norms are adopted, relatives will be able to be with the patient constantly. At the same time, they will have to comply with the sanitary and epidemiological requirements of the medical institution. In addition, the draft provides for additional support measures for participants in the special military operation and their family members. For this category of citizens, it is planned to expand the opportunities for receiving specialized assistance in federal medical centers. This includes medical-psychological, psychotherapeutic, psychiatric, and narcological support. The final decision on the new rules will be made after the consideration and approval of the state guarantees program for the next year. Evgenia FROLOVA.
