On Shadow Commercialization of Health Care in Russia

Inna Blam and Sergey Kovalev

Chapter 8 in Commercialization of Health Care, 2005, pp 117-135 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The current state of organization and financing of public health care provision in Russia complies neither with the declared constitutional guarantee of free-of-charge comprehensive coverage nor with the realities of ongoing market reform in the wider economy. It is a rudiment of incoherent reforms conceived and decided upon in the times of perestroika in a country with a different social structure and by people with a now obsolete view of how the economy works.
