“Now 2.5 trillion rubles are already allocated for the huge volumes of medical care that our population receives for free,” she said.
As Skvortsova reminded, over the year Russians make 1.2 billion free visits to outpatient medical facilities - clinics, of which 34% are preventive examinations and medical examinations.
According to the minister, the schedule of preventive examinations contains all the necessary examinations, including seven types of screening for the most common oncological diseases.
“By the way, it should be noted that an increase in the rates of compulsory medical insurance made them economically attractive. Therefore, if in 2012 7% of private medical organizations worked in the compulsory medical insurance system, then by the results of 2018 - already 34%, ”she added.
Skvortsova previously spoke about the development of targeted admission to medical universities.
