The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, jointly with the Health Committee of the administration of St. Petersburg and the Medical Centre of the Business Management Directorate of the President of the Russian Federation, is carrying out a complex of measures to provide the inhabitants, visitors and guests of St. Petersburg with medical assistance during the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the city.

To render timely emergency medical assistance to visitors and guests of St. Petersburg temporary medical posts are to be set up at the city's hotels for the period of holding international events, where physicians and doctor's assistants, fitted out with the necessary medicines, objects of medical destination and equipment, will be on duty round the clock.

It is envisaged to earmark special numbers of multichannel telephones in the operational-control service of the City First Aid Station of St. Petersburg for members of the official delegations and representatives of mass media if they ask for medical assistance.

According to him, Pulkovo will handle arrivals and departures "only of special flights with official delegations on board, and also support flights by agreement with Russia's Foreign Ministry." In this connection the GSGA asked airlines "not to plan regular or charter flights" to Pulkovo airport during this time.

To guarantee arrivals and departures of other participants and guests ahead of and after the festive events, Russian and foreign airlines are allowed "to make an additional required number of air flights" by agreement with the Pulkovo airport administration.

"The special air traffic regulations have been put in place to prevent the airport from being overloaded and accord with international practices," Neradko emphasised.
