title: [The rising of first aid efficiency to the rural population].
abstract: Latest research revealed a high prevalence of diseases of the ENT organs among the rural population, though grave outcomes of such diseases were not recorded. Studies of the numbers of ENT specialists in the Urals, chernozem area, and the Northern Caucasus showed their inadequate number: 70% of ENT patients were treated at central regional hospitals by physicians of other specialization. Half of applications for ENT diseases occurs in the evening, night, and morning hours. The majority of patients with ENT diseases apply for medical care rather late. The number of specialists in ENT diseases should be increased by all means in order to render adequate medical care to patients at all stages.
