According to Irina Prosviryakova, the Ministry of informatization and communications has finished development of the interactive map and it will be presented in the nearest time.

Irina Prosviryakova said that all objects in the interactive map are divided in three availability categories: “completely available object”, “object available in the servicing area” and “partially available object”.

The category “completely available object” means that the object is completely adapted to being used by persons with all kinds of disabilities.

Most health care institutions fall under the category “object available in the servicing area”. Only first floors of these objects are adapted to disabled people.

The last category is a “partially available object”.

Deputy Minister of labour, employment and social protection mentioned that great attention was paid to adaptation of pedestrian crossings.

Deputy Minister informed that problems connected with adaptation of health care, sports and cultural objects to disabled people were being actively solved.

In particular, certain works have been fulfilled at the Republican Clinical Hospital, Children’s Republican Clinical Hospital, Interregional Clinicodiagnostic Center, hospitals for veterans in Kazan and Naberezhnye Chelny, S.Saidashev State Big Concert Hall and the Kazan Circus.
