Along with protecting the public health, the chief duty of the Ministry is the training of health personnel— physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, and various assistants. In 1941 there were 130,000 students, 75% of whom were women. It is interesting to note that 50% of the practicing physicians in Russia at present are women, and Dr. Sieg- erist expects a majority of women doctors in the future. The Peo- ple’s Ministry also supplies all med- ical equipment—hospitals, instru- ments, apparatus, and drugs. Thus it controls the entire medical in- dustry as well as all preventive, diagnostic, and curative services. The base of the pyramid that is the Russian health administrative system is formed by hundreds thousands of small committ wherever people get together for work. “The battle against dis- ease must be fought by the peo- ple themselves,” asserted Dr. Sig- erist. “Health cannot. be forced on them.” Skills of persons.who had Red Cross and first aid training during the war are being utilized in*the. formation of health com-| mittees in apartment houses, fac- tories, and on farms. Cost of the program has rested with the Consolidated State Bud- get since 1927. Farm income, gov- ernment subsidies, and social in- surance funds take care of extra- ordinary expenses and pensions.
