Public Health Care
The Vologda Oblast Government emphasizes the importance of promoting health as well as treating illness. Preventive health services such as health education, and the responsibility that individuals have for their own health play a major part in this. While great progress has been made in eliminating infectious diseases, there is still scope for greater success in controlling the major causes of early mortality and disability.
Today all district centres have their own hospitals with modern medical equipment. In case of emergency physicians have aeroplanes and helicopters at their disposal. The workers of big industrial companies have their own medical centres in addition to the state medical institutions.
According to the RF Constitution, everyone shall have the right to health protection and medical aid. Medical aid in state and municipal health establishments shall be rendered to individuals gratis, at the expense of the corresponding budget, insurance contributions, and other proceeds.
The Russian government launched a so-called national projects plan that aims to improve life of Russian citizens, focusing on public health, education, housing and agriculture. In 2006 a national project “Health” was launched to improve the country’s healthcare system through improved funding and healthcare infrastructure. This plan helped equip hospitals and clinics of the Vologda Region with advanced, high-end equipment and ambulance systems, build new medical centres, as well as launch vaccination programs and free health checks. One of the focuses was made on salary increase of medical staff working in the primary care as well as their wider training programmes. The project was initiated by the Russian President Vladimir Putin and coordinated by the President Office.
The main goal of the national project “Healthcare” is to improve quality of primarily health care. The project also envisages creating a favourable environment in clinics, developing digital medicine and solving staffing problems.
