“This can turn from a good deed into a disaster” – Kommersant FM

General Director of the Elkat metallurgical plant Maxim Tretyakov: “There is a certain anxiety and discomfort for the leader. We are doing approximately the same thing now. It may be that monitoring of reproductive health is the only thing missing from periodic examinations. Within our group of companies there is a medical institution that does not operate under compulsory medical insurance; the employer pays for everything. I can’t say that this causes any kind of financial concern, but rather managerial discomfort.”

Co-owner of Russian cuisine restaurants “Teremok” Mikhail Goncharov: “It seems that this is simply impossible due to the gigantic volumes. There are hundreds of thousands and millions of employees in Moscow. That is, a person will go to this medical examination and will undergo it for a week. Sitting in lines is not an option. This can turn from a good thing into a disaster. That is, if yesterday no one checked anything, and tomorrow medical examinations are made universal and mandatory, this will not be very correct.”

President of the Pobeda confectionery factory Vitaly Muravyov: “As a food company, we already carry out medical examinations. We organize this without interruption from production. A medical company comes to us with the appropriate equipment, and for several days in a row we hire employees in shifts for an hour and a half. If this is introduced for all enterprises, prices will simply rise and the burden on medical organizations will increase. I, of course, would not organize medical examinations for everyone, but would do it by industry. In addition, it is advisable to still give time for preparation.”
