Information about the Russian Health system and insurance system.

The healthcare system in Russia has a mixed structure. The state provides public and private health services together with the general health insurance (OMS) system to ensure citizens' access to health services. Healthcare in Russia is managed by the Ministry of Health at the federal level. Healthcare is responsible for regulating healthcare organizations, doctors, pharmacies and other healthcare professionals. In Russia, citizens' access to healthcare is provided through the general health insurance (OMS) system. This system is mandatory for certain groups such as employees and retirees, and the premiums of these groups are paid by their employers. Other citizens can participate in the OMS system voluntarily. Within the scope of the OMS system, citizens can benefit from free health services by applying to public hospitals and clinics. However, receiving service at state health institutions can sometimes cause long waiting times. In Russia, citizens can also purchase private health insurance. This insurance may be preferred for those who want to receive faster and higher quality health care. The healthcare system in Russia faces problems with inadequate and poor quality services in some regions. It is known that health services are lacking and specialist doctors are few, especially in rural areas. Therefore, some citizens prefer to receive treatment and healthcare in other countries. As a result, the healthcare system in Russia has a mixed structure and citizens can benefit from state healthcare services through the general health insurance (OMS) system. However, there are some problems and deficiencies and some citizens prefer private health insurance.
