§ 4. HEALTH SERVICE IN RUSSIA

Public health services in Russia are organized locally under the Ministry of Health. The Ministry directs all medical institutions within its competence as well as the public health authorities and services throughout the country. Each region has its own head of health service, usually a physician, who is often in the governor's cabinet. He supervises the whole regional health care system: medical centers, polyclinics, etc. Teams of physicians with experience in various specialities work at polyclinics or outpatient units, where many types of diseases are treated. Small towns usually have one polyclinic to serve all purposes. Large cities commonly have separate polyclinics for children and adults, as well as clinics with specializations such as women's health care, mental illnesses, cancer and sexually transmitted diseases. Polyclinics usually have X-ray apparatus and facilities for examination of tissue specimens, different diagnostic devices and other equipment that helps to treat numerous types of diseases. Now there is a trend toward the development of larger, multipurpose treatment and diagnostic centers, first-aid hospitals, and specialized health care centers.

People have access to a large number of primary medical care options. Children are often taken to pediatricians, who may oversee the child's health needs until adulthood. They usually see the physicians with narrower specialities, including dermatologists, allergists, orthopedists, etc in special children health care establishments. Adults frequently make their initial contact with the health service at district polyclinics. Each polyclinic has a number of general practitioners who are called district therapeutists as well as doctors of particular specialities such as surgeons, neuropathologists, oculists and so on. The doctors examine their patients in the consulting rooms though home visits are also common, and much of the physician's time is spent in performing routine checkups for preventive purposes.

Along with the state medical care establishments a wide system of private clinics and hospitals is developing gradually. Such clinics can afford to hire very skilled specialists, professors to provide their patients the highest quality of medical care.
