Kirillova reports the Social Policy Committee's monitoring and September 30 roundtable on admissions after mandatory mentoring for medical graduates. She says universities received more than 590,000 applications, up twenty-six percent, with nineteen applicants per place versus fifteen in 2025, and colleges almost 400,000. She preserves the qualification that some residency programmes had vacancies. She describes mentor incentives, staffing centres and sponsored-study links, promising continued monitoring and replication of regional practice. Matviyenko asks the committee to continue implementation work.
