“….This report examines three critically important areas to inform discussions on the appropriate level of health care spending in the Russian Federation:

 

·         The efficiency of spending on health care services. What is the relationship between inputs and outputs in the Russian Federation? Does the Russian Federation achieve value in health care spending compared to members of the European Union (EU) and/or the G-8 group of countries? What factors can reduce efficiency in the Russian Federation and how can they be minimized?

·         Distributional impacts of spending on health care services. How are resources distributed across the regions and how are resources allocated by income. What can be done to minimize the disparities across the regions and by income?

·         The key factors that will influence the growth in health care spending over the next 20 years. How can the Russian Federation sustain economic growth in an environment when the working age population is shrinking and the population over age 65 is increasing?

This analysis draws on routinely collected regional and federal data and as discussed below is limited in scope by the relative absence of routinely or specifically collected data on the outcomes and outputs of the health care systems in Russia….”
