The state of regional medicine and prospects for the development of medical tourism in the far Eastern Federal district

Abstract

Based on the socio-economic assessment of the development prospects of the Russian Far East, the analysis of information on the state of the health care system from the perspective of medical tourism development has been carried out. The region with its great advantages over other Russian provinces, is underestimated by the governing elites as a driver of potential growth of the state's economy. Disorganization of management and outdated structure of regional medicine, unacceptable level of availability and quality of medical services to the population slows down the development of inbound medical tourism in the region in the coming years.
