From the transcript:
M. Mishustin: Dear Viktor Petrovich!
We have now looked at how the individual program of socio-economic development of the region, formed on the instructions of the President, is being implemented. I have already told you that I was pleased with the figures: extra-budgetary investments are more than 22 billion rubles, 6 thousand jobs. Gross regional product and real disposable income of the population are growing. And what is very important is that new infrastructure is being created, which, of course, attracts tourists, people who come here, relax, travel in the Altai Territory.
I would like to ask you about medical institutions. I know about your regional center for the protection of motherhood and childhood in Barnaul. A modern infectious disease building and a surgical building are being built. How is the construction process going and what else is needed?
V. Tomenko: Thank you very much, dear Mikhail Vladimirovich, for your attention to the region!
This facility, our regional clinical children's hospital, the regional center for the protection of motherhood and childhood, was initially in your field of vision and, according to your instructions, work was organized on the construction of a new surgical building and major repairs of the infectious disease building.
I have prepared a short presentation. This is what the center for the protection of motherhood and childhood looks like today. And here is information about how the construction of the surgical building and the major repairs of the infectious disease building are going.
I want to say that today 17 thousand small patients are undergoing treatment there. There are consultative and diagnostic services with the most modern equipment. And another 13 departments, including oncology, infectious diseases and surgery.
As a result of the work that will be carried out to build the surgical building, the volume of assistance to our children will increase from today's 17 thousand to 21 thousand. And the ability to perform operations will increase from 5 thousand to 8 thousand. This is the first thing.
Drive
And secondly. Of course, there will be an opportunity to provide this assistance at the highest technological level. In particular, we plan to open a children's neurosurgical department there. Today, for this kind of operations, our children must go to other regions. And the new department will provide such an opportunity.
Of the more than 5 billion rubles the project costs, 3.8 billion is funding from the federal budget. The construction completion date is the end of 2026. As of today, almost 50% of the construction work has been completed. Everything is on schedule.
It is very important – a major overhaul of the infectious diseases building is being carried out in this center. At our last meeting, Mikhail Vladimirovich, you gave the order that we, together with the federal authorities, should address this issue. We have done a lot of work. Ultimately, Altai Krai was provided with funding from the federal budget in the amount of 390 million rubles. The work itself will cost 530 million rubles, taking into account co-financing from the regional budget. We understand, of course, that new equipment will be needed there. We have already planned our regional funds. This is 330 million rubles. Thus, 3 thousand of our children who will undergo treatment there will receive high-quality medical care at the highest level. In this regard, I would like to thank the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Mikhail Albertovich (Murashko) personally gave instructions and orders here so that we could succeed. The contract was signed in April of this year, at the end of 2026, the renovated building will accept all the children. For now, we are providing them with assistance in other medical institutions of our region.
M. Mishustin: Viktor Petrovich, all plans must be implemented on time, and I ask that you keep the construction of such facilities under your personal control.
One more question. The Altai region is famous for its nature. Today the International Ecological Conference, in which you also took part together with the heads of government of a number of CIS countries, experts, and ecologists, is finishing its work.
And of course, when we talk about environmental issues, it is impossible not to touch upon the issues of logistics and comfortable living. We are talking about the Chuysky Tract. We decided to continue construction, consulted with the President, and he gave such an order. And a five-year period was given to reconstruct the Chuysky Tract using new technologies.
How is the work going?
V. Tomenko: Dear Mikhail Vladimirovich, I have prepared a small map. "Chuisky Trakt" is a federal road, route R-256. Its length is more than 1.1 thousand km. It passes through the territory of Novosibirsk Oblast, Altai Krai and the Altai Republic. The route runs through the territory of Altai Krai for 323 km.
Three years ago, Mikhail Vladimirovich, I contacted you with a request to support the proposals that we have, taking into account the demand for this road (in 2022, it was the 100th anniversary of the Chuysky Tract, we all, three regions, celebrated it), in order to convert as much of this road as possible to four-lane traffic.
All these instructions were given. And today, out of 323 km that pass through the territory of the Altai Territory, 146 km of the road are already in a four-lane design, provided with everything necessary to ensure that traffic is safe, comfortable and modern. Of these, 23 km were introduced in 2024.
Today, this federal road is managed by Rosavtodor. The Altai Federal Road Administration is such a federal institution, and we actively cooperate with it: its competence includes exits, approaches, services, and so on, and contractors, including our Altai ones, work here. Therefore, it is very important to be here = in cooperation.
There are another 22 km of road in the next five years. I marked them on the map, they are already included. Another 27 km are prepared for inclusion in the five-year plan. And now we are working on the possibilities of this inclusion together with the Ministry of Transport and Rosavtodor. And for the remaining parts of this road, design and estimate documentation is being prepared. Here we help our federal road workers in every possible way. And, naturally, all residents and our guests are, of course, very interested in the road being expanded and made better.
M. Mishustin: Without a doubt, the modernization of the road will help to reveal the tourist potential of the Altai Territory. Tell us what is being done in general to develop the infrastructure for travel, including using the mechanisms provided by the state.
V. Tomenko: First of all, of course, the development of the tourist infrastructure itself. Today, there are 571 collective accommodation facilities, 14.5 thousand – room stock. A program for the creation of modular accommodation facilities is being implemented, we have already completed almost everything planned here.
In addition, our major investors today have access to preferential lending under Resolution No. 141. Or rather, in previous years and today as well. Projects are being implemented for 86 billion. 60 billion rubles – preferential lending has already been approved. This is the creation of approximately 3.3 thousand more numbers to the 14.5 thousand that we have. Therefore, we are working in this area and, naturally, we are helping our investors.
In previous years, we had infrastructure budget loans, special treasury loans. This year, it is KIK – treasury infrastructure loans. We use approximately 80% of the funds that we manage to attract to put logistics, transport communications, road infrastructure, and so on in order, to ensure transport accessibility and comfortable movement on such roads. We use these funds to develop engineering infrastructure and to resolve infrastructure issues, including a small amount for energy.
These are our main areas. Today, we have attracted about 14 billion rubles of such investments. We also participate in almost all areas that the so-called infrastructure menu provides us with – this is the MKI program, and the IBC, and the SKK, and so on. In general, I sincerely thank you, Mikhail Vladimirovich, on behalf of all residents of the region for the fact that such opportunities exist today in addition to those provided by our current activities, our current income. By the way, the Altai Territory's own income, our consolidated budget in 2024, increased by 20% at once compared to 2023, from 125 billion rubles to 150 billion rubles. And this good support gives us the opportunity to solve many current issues and think about development.
M. Mishustin: Viktor Petrovich, tourism should become one of the most important drivers of economic growth in the Altai Territory. It is very important to create all the conditions for building a modern comfortable infrastructure. And, of course, to provide guarantees to the businesses that come here.
You have pleased me with the extra-budgetary funds that have come, the investor believed in the Altai Territory and the Altai Republic. And it is very important to continue this trend, guarantee property rights, guarantee conditions for investors and develop your beautiful region.
