Increasing the life expectancy of citizens of the Russian Federation is the goal of the state programme «Development of Healthcare» [Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1640 of 26 December 2017 On Approval of the State Programme of the Russian Federation ‘Development of Healthcare’]. The most important role in achieving the expected results is to improve the quality of life and reduce the disability of the population. One of the tools to fulfil these objectives is the improvement of medical rehabilitation measures. The principles of a multidisciplinary approach are applied to ensure a continuous recovery process. Formed multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams include specialists with higher and secondary professional education. Provision of structural units with mid-level specialists in the field of medical rehabilitation is carried out through retraining of medical personnel. The Department of Secondary Professional Education of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Postgraduate Professional Education RMANPO of the Ministry of Health of Russia in 2024 took part in the implementation of measures of the federal project ‘Providing medical organisations of the health care system with qualified personnel’ on professional retraining of mid-level specialists.
