Russia to expand list of free high-tech medical care
The Russian government has decided to expand the list of high-tech medical procedures that citizens can receive free of charge under the compulsory medical insurance (OMS) policy. This innovation is aimed at making complex and expensive treatment methods more accessible to a wide range of patients across the country.
In addition to expanding the list of services, the authorities are introducing a strict ban on the imposition of paid medical services in state clinics. Patients have often faced situations where they were offered to pay for procedures that should be provided for free. Now, medical institutions are required to clearly inform citizens about their rights and provide care within the framework of the state guarantee program.
New rules also provide for increased transparency of commercial settlements in the healthcare system. This will help monitor the targeted use of funds and eliminate cases of unjustified financial demands on patients. The state is striving to ensure that the process of receiving medical care becomes transparent and protected from corruption risks.
These changes are part of a large-scale effort to improve the healthcare system in Russia. It is expected that the new measures will help reduce the financial burden on families and ensure timely treatment for those in need of high-tech care. In the near future, medical organizations will begin to bring their operations into compliance with the updated requirements.
