Provision of Medicines to Russian Citizens at the Expense of the Federal Budget: Features and Challenges

Abstract

Despite the large number of government programs aimed at providing quality medical care and medication to certain categories of citizens, we are faced with significant shortcomings. In this article, the authors will examine the key Russian healthcare programs funded through federal subsidies and evaluate their pros and cons. The authors explore the legal regulations that govern these programs and identify the specific categories of citizens they are designed for.
