Healthcare in Russia

I'd say that the healthcare system in Russia is fairly good. It's free to the public. The basic services that it provides are adequate for general purposes. This doesn't mean you will get the best of care, but it's available at no cost. The private system is much better with the quality of services being much higher and not that expensive. I've had to use the system for a minor surgery which was done in a state of the art hospital here in Kazan. What I was surprised at was after care was minimal, it is expected that the family will provide this in the hospital itself. My overall experiences have been quite positive. I'd say that private health insurance is just not necessary.

Hello,
I am living in Moscow and the healthcare services might be a bit different from other parts of Russia.
We pay an International Insurance who pays for the private services, so we go to GMS or EMC because they speak English. But if you pay from your own pocket It is horribly expensive. You can find very good care with public services but if you don't speak speak Russian, it is better to bring someone for translation. The system doesn't pay for most medications. Many drugs are not available in Russia,  so check before you move and bring enough supply if you have a chronic condition.
