The development and improvement of the healthcare system of the Russian Federation is receiving constant attention from the legislative and executive authorities. And if the success in this activity is obvious for the donor regions, which include 23 subjects of the Russian Federation, where the healthcare system can afford serious material and financial investments aimed at improving the indicators of the healthcare system. For the rest of the Russian regions, despite the assistance of federal authorities, investments in healthcare are significantly inferior to donor regions. At the same time, even on a regional scale, there is a significant unevenness among donor regions in the indicators characterizing the health care system. Based on this, the state of the healthcare system on a regional scale is an urgent task. As research on the healthcare system in the regions accumulates, it is possible to begin forming generalized directions and, as a result, criteria for the quality of the healthcare system in subsidized regions.
