Krasnodar Region Tackles Shortage of Mid-Level Medical Staff
Efforts to address the shortage of mid-level healthcare workers continue in Krasnodar Region. The largest graduation class is expected in 2026, with nearly 5,000 specialists set to earn their diplomas—nearly double the 2,600 graduates anticipated in 2025.
The regional health ministry oversees 10 medical colleges, including eight branches, where over 10,000 students are currently enrolled. Training programs cover general medicine, nursing, midwifery, laboratory diagnostics, and dentistry. Additionally, 112 students are pursuing targeted education contracts, while senior students participate in career guidance programs for schoolchildren.
This year, the region plans to establish a regional employment center to assist graduates in finding jobs, as well as an accreditation and simulation center for skills verification. Key institutions include the Krasnodar Regional Basic Medical College, founded in 1880, and the Yeysk Medical College, which graduates around 250 specialists annually.
These initiatives are part of the national project "Long and Active Life" under the regional program "Medical Workforce."
