Over 24 mln Ukrainians already signed declarations with doctors

Over 24 million Ukrainians have already signed declarations with family doctors, Deputy Health Minister Pavlo Kovtoniuk has said.

"In Ukraine, more than 24 million people have used the right to choose their family doctor. Without any pressure. More than 70% of those who signed declarations said they are pleased with their family doctors. There have never been such percentages in Ukraine," Kovtoniuk said, an Ukrinform correspondent reported.

He added that salaries of doctors grew significantly, especially those who are successful and have many patients.
