@Sam's Russian Adventures could you advise what dentist you are visiting?
Brother why you mention poison shot c-19.Stay away from it.Very disappointing
Your channel is not under shadow ban. In Canada it pops up just fine. I guess, you are too paranoid. So why did you come to Russia? Living is cheaper there but there are many other cheap countries with a better climate worth settling down when retired.
I'll do
In western hospital You are client, in Russia You are patient
Very true.. I have lost weight and learn to use herbals and herbs and flowers and dry them to drink. Not eat any fast food in America. No sodas no high processed sugar
..
Maybe, but n western countries you live approximately 7 years longer then in Russia
@@jacekboczarski6698 says who?
And live where? In tents on streets?
@@jacekboczarski6698 u realize that in Russia in North areas life span is up to 40 years old.
I am in Kazan with my wife nursing her aged mum. So far what i have seen from doctors and paramedics has been brilliant, and the doctor comes to her apartment no charge. Unheard of in Australia.
I am from AU and had a major operation in SPB i was in hospital for 2 weeks best care and total cost $2500 US.
@waynefee1561 Australia has become a fools paradise. Here for another 8 months thinking seriously about staying here, not everything is better but the important things are.
That would be nice to have doctors come to you when you're too old. Or it's too cold...
Doctor comes without charge...? They work for free? Or have you paid for the service beforehand?
In my country I pay in advance from the time I start paying income tax, so when I need a service, I have paid beforehand.
Best dentist I have ever had is here in Moscow (I am from Australia). I should make a video on it.
From personal experience - medical care in the US is an absolute nightmare compared to Russia!
I do agree with you. And it's getting worse and worse every year. I've been here for 28 years so it's my personal experience. I come to Russia and I can be seen by any medical specialist within couple days. Just to compare - last week I set an appointment with dermatologist in Minnesota. My appointment is scheduled for February 2025! And I am not kidding! That's the soonesr that I could get.
@@yuryskrip5500
I know very well what you are talking about. I have lived in the USA for 25 years (1994-2019). I had a similar situation with an endocrinologist in East Brunswick, NJ. My doctor was retiring and I didn't get an appointment with a new endocrinologist until 9 months later.
Even though there are issues. I didn’t have nightmarish situations with the US medical system in all of the 15 years I have lived here.
@@svensulzmann4282
Good for you...
@@Sergey_Bezhentsev yep, just want to show that not all is bad
My friend had his hip joint replaced in the US and he wrote on FB: 'if I went to France instead, I'd have my hip joint replaced there, could buy tickets to France and back, and would still have money left for some good French wine'. I then replied: 'now get this, Dave: my Grandma's hip joint was replaced in a major traumathology clinic in Russia. She had an old heart pacemaker that had to be replaced prior to the surgery in a cardio clinic. 6 months after the surgery she had to have her hip joint re-fixed, and that was totally her own fault as she hadn't been following the doctor's directions. She spent over 4 weeks in the hospitals in total. All of the above was completely free of charge to her and 100% covered by her mandatory insurance policy as a Russian resident'.
I also promise this is a 100% true story that I could prove with documents.
Great that she had successful surgery and that it was all done for free!
You forgot to mention the mandatory medical examination of employees, all people aged 18-39 need to undergo medical examination every 3 years, and from the age of 40 - annually. The employer makes this day a day off and pays for it as a working day. Examination by all doctors in this day is also free for all citizens of Russia (therapist, mammologist, fluorography, etc.)
Или ,если это крупное предприятие, команда врачей делает осмотр работников прямо там, в заводском медпункте.
Мне как раз звонили из поликлиники, приглашали на диспансеризацию
Я пенсионер. Недавно звонили из поликлиники. Спросили, почему я давно не был у них и все ли у меня хорошо. А так на прививки и диспансеризацию постоянно приглашают.
I am a retired citizen in U.S. Our Medicare insurance, drug insurance, and cancer policy cost my husband and I about $600 a month. We still have about a $ 300 deductible out of pocket we have to pay first before everything is covered. It is shameful how our medical system treats retired citizens and citizens in general. If you don't have insurance at all or through your job you are screwed and will go bankrupt.
So I have heard that many people purchase foreign medicine from their own pocket here in Russia. Perhaps patients consider foreign brands to be better quality and the hospital perhaps uses Russian brands.
Yeah those that own a home and have good retirement and other things they have to pay more monthly in medical.. and if you don't pay it they cut attached it to your home when you die or sell your home.. good middle-class Americans are broke because of the medical system..
In Netherlands, until 18 years of age its free. As a family of 3, with 18 years old child, we pay+/- 500 euro Every month and a +/- 400 euro own risk (yearly) when in need of medical treatment 🤮
It seems like you two are qualified for government prescription co-pay? I used to pay $600-800\month for just prescriptions co-pay.
Health insurance is one of the biggest scams in USA system. First, I started with $1.20 per prescription, then the prices kept increasing to $2, $5, then later up to 50%b of the original price (I got government co-pay after almost a year later)
Privyet, Sam. Excellent and very informative video. Sounds like a mixture of an NHS-like system and a private insurance system with lots of choices. On a side note, and as a nature lover, I can't help but notice the wide variation of trees in your city and area. Just on your walk today, I saw fir, cypress, oak, willow, and pine trees. I probably missed a few others, too. Absolutely beautiful. Specibo. Blagosloveniya.
Кипарисы точно не видели. Это были или туи или можжевельник
@@yuliabalashova3866 Dobrry den. Thank you for sharing the "thuja" genus with me. I'd never heard this name before. I had to research it. I am somewhat familiar with juniper trees, but they aren't indigenous to where I live, and they don't grow so well when planted. We tend to clump these trees as a type of cedar or cypress. I appreciate the correction. I love learning. Specibo bolshoi.
@@creole-qy2om i'm somewhat convinced they don't grow freely in the Vladimir region either. These must have been purchased and planted.
@@zloychechen5150 Thank you. A lot of those cedar-cypress (juniper or thuja) trees are found in the Mediterranean regions. They are beautiful no matter where they are planted, for sure.
Hi Sam congratulations on reaching 50k subscribers.
Thank you so much 😀 it took 6 years!!!!!
As someone who has experience the nightmares of Canadian medical system but also spent some time in a Russian hospital with COVID induced pneumonia I can say that the Russian experience was like a vacation.
Ты забыл рассказать про "Скорую Помощь" и вызов врача на дом.
Спасибо 🙏 следующий раз!
@@SamsRussianAdventures - В следующий раз! - А Вы уверены что зрители фром эброад доживут до этого? 🙂
I don't know about Russian Healthcare system much but USA's one is a nightmare, they are the only first world country with such a bad Healthcare.
It seems it’s just a way to make more money!!!
Sam!!! 50.000!!!!! I think in the next video, you need to treat your self on a a piece of cake and what ever drink you like! Congratulations!!!
In a small Ural town Mezhgoriye medical care is just brilliant!❤❤❤
I have done a video on the healthcare system in Belarus and how it compares to Ireand at the UK. Let's just say I would prefer to fall ill in Belarus.
Sending love from Korea!
SAM THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION ON HEALTH CARE IN RUSSIA.
No problem!
Dunno what you’ve done Sam, but your videos are showing up in my recommended section again buddy 👍
I’m glad as my views have fallen dramatically!
Cheers from Argentina ❤
слышал, что в некоторых странах некоторые люди, больные диабетом вынуждены покупать за бешеные деньги инсулин, в России больным выдают его бесплатно.
Canada, diabetic medications are expensive
Насколько я слышал, самая беда с ценами на инсулин в США. В Канаде чуть лучше, а в Европе либо платят немного(Германия), либо не платят совсем(Россия, Украина, Беларусь, Финляндия).
Apart from being a military outpost, Crimea is basically a sanatorium.
Indeed
The entire medical system in Canada is collapsing
Thanks to maid🤦
It has been done on purpose to go back for profit healthcare in the future.
And in New Zealand also 😢
@@freddiethompson58 Maybe but I don't think so, government loves the control they have over the population with healthcare, and now they want to give that control over to the WHO and UN with the pandemic treaty.
Нужно сказать, что жители России упорно не замечают своих огромных преимуществ перед другими странами. И система здравоохранения - одно из них. Я имею полную возможность сравнивать российские клиники с американскими. По сути, никакого сравнения и быть не может. Российская система настолько лучше, что не о чем и говорить.
Это все лишь обложка и название! Чтобы уловить посмотрев!
Мне больше всего нравится, когда в российских поликлиниках народ начинает беспокоиться, если случается 5-10 мин. задержка на приёме к врачу. Я сразу вспоминаю 1-2 ЧАСОВОЕ oжидание перед приёмом в "предбаннике" малюсенького врачебного офиса в США...🤦🏼♂️🤬
Absolutely agree. live in the US, Tennessee - health care is embarrassing here.
Это одна из главнейших причин разрушения СССР. Люди считали что социальные блага естественны как природа, как воздух, и даже не замечали их. И легко верили западным марионеткам ( Горбачеву, Ельцину ).
Разочарование было катастрофическим. Но было уже поздно.
Именно поэтому масса народа сейчас поддерживает Путина. ( говорю как человек, НЕ поддерживающий Путина). Он - олицетворение того что РФ НЕ вернется в 90-е годы. "Никогда снова". При том что Путин олицетворяет собой ЧУЖДЫЙ НАМ либерально-капиталистический уклад - народ все равно его поддерживал и поддерживает, ибо никто не хочет "свободы умирать" 90-х.
Зажрались))
я из города в Кемеровской области. Всегда пользовалась услугами частных клиник. Но однажды решила посетить поликлиннику. К моему удивлению, мне пришлось только 1 анализ сдать в частной, так доктор посоветовала. НО все остальное сдавала в поликлиннике. Помощь терапевтов и эндокриноога, в частности - на высоте! Также прошла диспансеризацию -это основные анализы для обследования основных систем. И еще приглашают))) но времени нет идти. Так что, как бы мы ни ругали нашу медицинскую систему, она на должном уровне!
I can’t even get a dentist in uk . I just have to suffer as I can’t afford treatment .
In Russia, you can get extreme care for free, you will have to pay for dental implants already
I heard that the dentist is free in the UK 😐
Can compare healthcare in Canada and Russia. It's day and night. The quality in Russia is unparalleled.
I think the medicines are cheaper in Canada comparing to US. Here, in US, I've heard many people drive to Mexico for their prescriptions.
And CUBA is even a much better deal, it's free healthcare, free education (University level). Most medicines are free, or dirt cheap ($1-2 comparing to hundreds in US)
@valeriytroshin - Dr Jordan Peterson went to Russia to stay in various hospitals and clinics, as they could cure something that no one else could cure.
Quick note about registration: you can register in any polyclinic regardless of your residency registration. But most people choose polyclinic that is closest to their home.
I have worked in the US healthcare system as both a clinician and various support roles for most of my career, and all I can say is that the system here is hopelessly broken.
Pears? Or popki?
exactly, upvoted you.
Another golden nugget from Sam, bravo!
Thanks 🙏
Having had some experience with the Russian medical system, I can honestly say it is VASTLY superior to back home (Australia) in terms of wait times and meticulousness. I haven’t had to have any major procedures done here, but if I did, I would be confident in the standard of care in Russia provided by public clinics and hospitals.
In Australia there’s no socialized dental care, and it’s now become so expensive that people are taking out loans, or worse still, having to take money from their superannuation just to pay to have their teeth fixed. It’s honestly embarrassing.
Couldn't agree more
Yes everything become sooo expensive here in Sydney...no bulk billing at GP
Yes. Very embarrassing. I am from US, Tennessee
Here is Australia, a dental visit is $400-600 if a filling is required!
UTTER HIGHWAY ROBBERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As a result I have almost no teeth left (retired pensioner).
Well you're going out the same way you came in. Getting old, they've been doing it for hundreds of years. Russian pension 236 dollars per month. Australian pension 1,020 dollars per month. More money for candy.
@richardpaquette8429 how much is your rent/mortgage, home insurance, car insurance in Australia?
Recently I've paid 40$ for opening 3 root canals, healing them with a medicine and then their closing and teeth's crown part restoration. I did it in 3 takes😅
@@richardpaquette8429
And don't forget taxes
And thats cheap for Sydney!! try to go public dental plan.Try to find numbers on line -they will cover most of costs for your dental work.
Hello Sam, As you know we have the national health system in the UK which is free to all unfortunately it has terrible waiting lists for treatment from major operations to just seeing a GP what’s it like where you are.
Thanks for another enjoyable video.
You'll have to wait in line from 30 mins to a few hours for some kind of medics. GPs though arent normally a problem. At least where i live, you can see one right away. They are not in high demand
К терапевту или педиатру мы записываемся через сайт. Как правило есть несколько дней на неделе и временых отрезков на которые можно записаться. Например вы в субботу записываетесь на вторник на 12:30, приезжаете к назначеному времени в поликлинику если врач свободен можно пройти пораньше или ровно в 12:30. Иногда врач занят предидущим пациентом и придётся подождать 5-10 минут. Если вам срочно надо к терапевту(педиатру), а записи нет можно просто приехать в поликлинику и пойти к дежурному врачу, тут всё зависит от количества пациентов: можно и за 5 минут пройти, можно и полчаса ждать. Это что касается терапевтов(педиатров). Так же есть запись через интернет к некоторым специалистам. Но записываться лучше за несколько недель. К некоторым специалистам записи нет, её должен открыть терапевт, то есть сначала надо попасть на приём к терапевту. Далее так же записываемся через интернет. У особо занятых специалистов запись можно ждать месяц - 2.
Самое долгое: моей жене пришлось ждать бесплатного МРТ 2,5 месяца. Впрочем платное стоило 2500рублей(25$)
Если уж совсем не можете ждать, вызываете скорую
I had a ganglion removed from my thumb here in Brisbane, Australia. After the mandatory annual private Health Care insurance, I paid $1,000 out of pocket expenses. For a thumb. Fantastic surgery experience and after care, however, pricey. Australia is no longer the lucky country.
I think that these health systems were set up when less digital health care systems were required and when the populations were smaller.
I just watched 2 more videos about Russia and both of them are really interesting. And these videos give me good idea about Russia today. You publish very interesting videos. Good work. Richard from Montreal.
Glad you like them! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the very interesting and informative breakdown of 'medical life' in Russia!
You are welcome
@@SamsRussianAdventures Limey, when can I see you in the trenches?
Just confirmed my appointment to see an otolaryngologist. Guess when? December 11 th. Welcome to Canadian Health Care.
Is this a joke ? It is June now. 🤪😄 Anything over 1 week time is already borderline criminal, in many cases time to see the doctor is crucial
@@Goorood No, it is not a joke. It is free Canadian Health Care. And hearing test during that appointment is not free.
The same situation in the UK
More than the information dear Sam that I already knew I enjoyed the walk, it was great
specially the roads with trees.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
My experience here in the US (Idaho), you have to have a Primary Care Physician whose role is, after you pay the $125 office visit fee, to refer the patient to a specialist (who you cannot see without the referral) and pay another fee which is usually in the $250 per visit range. At which time the Specialist will order some lab work which could be anywhere from another $200 to $1,000+, or some type of therapy as in Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy etc. ($75+ per hour) and/or adaptive equipment or devices (a simple foot brace for a sprain-$600-800). Then there is the obligatory follow ups and do it all again. As in the "Free Market Place Idea" of America, everything is $$$ motivated!!
Wow! It’s crazy! How do people survive!!!
@@SamsRussianAdventures Your pricing was dead on accurate and that is truly the way it is. Every last experience I have had has been thaT way and the price was what you say. I am in Wisconsin USA
Good stuff as always Sam!
Если получать помощь по обычной страховке (которая для меня бесплатная), то иногда надо ожидать. Я ходила в прошлом месяце к окулисту, мне надо удалить новообразование с века. Записалась через госуслуги и через два дня меня принял врач. Доктор теперь запишет меня сама на консультацию в областную глазную клинику, там мне все сделают бесплатно. Но надо ждать 2 или 3 месяца. Я не тороплюсь потому, что это косметическая проблема. Я могу сделать это быстро, но за деньги. Меня жадность задушила, я подожду. 😂
Insurance here in U.S. Will not cover anything considered cosmetic.
Hi Sam. Interesting video. Educational too. I always thought a polyclinic was where you took your parrot when it was ill.
😆😅🤣😛
POLY means MANY in Greek😂😂😂
Hahahaha
🐢 💀 черепклиника 😮
Это ветклиника (ветеринарная клиника)
I lived in Russia in the late 90s. The medical care then was atrocious. Sounds like it’s vastly improved. The quality of medical care in the US is declining rapidly and it’s become very expensive. How things change in a few decades.
"I lived in Russia in the late 90s. The medical care then was atrocious."
Well, basically everything was nonfunctional a lot of the time back then...
"The quality of medical care in the US is declining rapidly and it’s become very expensive."
USA is really weird when it comes to healthcare. On the one hand, it has some of the best specialist care you can find anywhere. If you can pay for it. At ridiculous levels of cost.
But on the other hand, it's healthcare available for people with just minimal insurance or even no insurance, ie the single largest portion of people?
The quality of care is often dreadful. To the point that in some of the primary markers for average healthcare quality, USA as a WHOLE is actually below some 3rd world nations.
While places like Cuba has better AVERAGE healthcare than USA.
The UK health system is collapsing.
I live in the US I don’t think that our health care system is collapsing it works pretty well and gets improved upon.
@@svensulzmann4282 in my experience American doctors care less, they have very little interest in curing a patient. They treat the symptoms not the problem and constantly push pharmaceuticals. Health insurance premiums, copays, and deductibles are very expensive and coverage is poor. You are correct that there are some good specialists out there but, it’s gonna cost you. IMO the health system has gotten much worse in the last 10-15 years.
@@svensulzmann4282 How much it cost you a month for your insurance coverage? And yes, gets improved upon by price climbing over the roof and inaccessibility for the majority of US citizens.
Love this episode, thanks Sam!
Thank you! Glad it was useful
Poliklinika cannot accommodate overnight care. You can come there daily for certain procedures, but there is neither night shift nor kitchen/canteen.
Yes it can! After Covid I had the option of a two week stay in my polyclinic! I guess it depends on the size of the polyclinic. In your town perhaps it’s small.
@@SamsRussianAdventures amazing! What’s the number or name of one in Vladimir?
@@SamsRussianAdventures иногда поликлиника и больница находится в одном здании, возможно это ваш вариант. Или на время борьбы с Ковидом они сделали палаты в поликлинике, но обычно поликлинике на ночь закрываюися. Исключение травмпункты они работают круглосуточно.
Bolnitsa or Poliklinika.
@@1982vovan very true...Policlinic simply has no beds to accommodate you...unless its as twofer...Polyclinic/Hospital
Our big issue with health care in Canada is it’s under funded and we don’t have enough family doctors. So you could spend over 12 to 24 hrs in emergency to get help. That being said it was cheaper and easier for my wife to fly home to Russia and see a specialist for her sinus issues at a privet clinic then here in Canada where the wait time was over two years. While there she got all her dental work done for about $300 which was going to cost us over 5 grand in our dentist office Because my dental coverage didn’t cover the whole cost of root canal’s and a capping. There is good and bad health care all over the place. Im just glad that we have opportunities to get health care and not like in 3rd world countries where they have none.
The big issue for Canada - absence of private independent medicine and corruption.....If you could pay to private doctors - you would no wait even a minute)) MRI scan for free - you will be waiting MONTHS in Canada - but if you pay - it costs 600-700 CAD- and who is the owners of these "private" enterprises? - medical officials..........
Это беспредел. Ждать 2 года!!! И еще такие деньги😮
Lots of wrong information. In Russia, in the state free of charge polyclinics, you don’t have to talk to “the main receptionist” and then go to room 26 where 30+ people are waiting for the doctor. Instead, you reserve your time with a particular doctor (if the polyclinic has more than one doctor of that specialization) and go at your designated time. All free of charge, of course. And you can reserve online, of course, and browse through the doctors and available schedules.
It depends. Typically there will be a line of people. Perhaps your polyclinic is better than the one I’ve been to. Even if you have a scheduled appointment there are still lots of people waiting in comparison to a private clinic. Do you not talk to the main reception? It’s the very first thing that you do when going to the polyclinic!
Anyway, thanks a lot for covering this very important topic!) Russia’s not ideal, but definitely very trying.)
@@SamsRussianAdventures I will assume with the highest confidence that the people in line to see the doctor are those who got sick today. There is capitalism in Russia, and the associated optimization of costs. Often there are just as many doctors as needed, no more. They have a schedule for seeing patients (those who registered in advance), but if a person wakes up sick, then he cannot register for today, but he MUST visit the doctor TODAY in order to have a legal reason not to work today (and in the future receive legal sick leave and a week - two to undergo treatment while maintaining wages). They usually sit in line.
And yes, the reception area is the first thing you do. ))
True You need to register first Now only by phone
It heavily depends on region.
In our Indonesia every citizen should have a health card at monthly insurance costs , to reduce medical treatment for hospital stay. It is helpful but not as good as Russia. Home treatment is not covered by health insurance.
Hoping you can do another video on sanatorium, which means different thing in usa
There are lots of beautiful sanatoriums around Russia and Belorussia. I've been to several myself- beautiful experience! Come and see for yourself!🤩
Hahaha I know!!! There is one that I want to film.
Sanitorium not a good word in U.S.
@@deethornburg4014 Oh, I see! Does it mean mental clinic? So called false friends of an intepretor- the same as " conservatory"- means a music theatre in Russian and quite a different thing in English!😁

I must say that in general Italian healthcare is good. It is a regional (public) free healthcare system paid by taxpayers and it is really good. Then there is also a private one. Dental cares are rather expensive ( if you go to a private dentist), but if you have a low income you can get some benefits. I cannot complain. Universality, equality and fairness are fundamental principles of our system. Great info Sam. Thanks a lot and Congratulations on your 50k subscribers!💕⚘️🪻🌷
Great information, thanks 👍👍😊
That’s amazing 🤩
Wow thx,the weather stops me from moving❤
You can move to Krasnodarsky Krai, the climate is similar to Turkey. The region is quite developed as well.
I have a 3 year tourist visa for Russia and went for 6 months, left, then back again for another 4 months. I never had medical insurance of any kind when I applied for the visa, nor while I was in Russia. I went to 3 different medical places for certain things (nothing major) and just paid out of pocket. It was good and super inexpensive.
very interesting. much better than where i am from

Знаки очень важны, не смотря на то, что расположение в таких местах выглядит странно, но в потёмках, если люди будут переходить, а машина их не заметит на достаточно высокой скорости, случится катастрофа
Another excellent video Sam.
really good vid Sam- one tip I would give to anyone visiting Belarus is to get health insurance on both sides, That is, get western insurance when you apply for visa and then get local insurance when in Belarus, Great videos Sam keep making them,,,
I had my knee joint replaced for free recently. In fairness, it should be said that the employer deducts a certain percentage to the social insurance fund, which includes compulsory medical insurance.
Hi Sam, great video. Our healthcare is poor and very expensive. The bonus is most of the staff is rude and are inefficient. The medical and pharmacy companies are trying to get as much money as possible, not good health.
In Russia it’s pretty much free and the service is improving
@@SamsRussianAdventures It's not free in Russia. What a weird idea? It is insured by "ОМС". You have to have a "полис", a paper like a health card in Canada.
@@StoneField-nj6swYou are mistaken. Citizen of Russia pays nothing for OMS insurance for all life - it's free.

Ох пора бы уже знать, что знаки Пешеходного перехода ставятся по просьбе жителей возможно там живут родители с дети или инвалиды и они ходят в школу садик или на остановку магазин, поэтому безопасность важнее, чем сумма потраченная на знаки.
Да столько прожить в России и не знать медицинские вопросы это ужас
1 Вся медицина бесплатна (все фирмы и предприятия платят страховые взносы за работающих у них сотрудников)
2 Частные медицинские учреждения не отвечают за больных (если что то с вами там случиться, они вас передадут государственным больницам, так что подумайте прежде чем идти) Единственный плюс платных это прием в любое время, в государственных на прием надо записаться заранее можно по интернету. Неотложную помощь или острую боль прием вне очереди.
3 За любое платное лечение государство возвращает часть денег (если вы официально работаете в России и платите налоги)
4 Есть список медикаментов которые выдаются бесплатно или по низкой цене при лечении тех или иных болезней (список расширяется каждый год)
5 Вот тут он соврал, качество оборудования в государственной поликлинике выше на порядок (частные клиники по договору отправляют больных на КТ или МРТ в государственные)
Частные не могут за миллионы купить такое оборудование. Про некоторые способы диагностики рака и других болезней использующие радиоактивные изотопы или лазеры вообще говорить не стоит такое оборудование есть только в государственных клинических центрах.
6 Разницы в медицине в каком месте вы живете хоть в глухой деревне нет (вас бесплатно направят в ближайший центр медицины с необходимым оборудованием для лечения) Медицинские центры строятся с учетом доступности, в течении суток вы можете получить любое лечение.
Газовые трубы. вы наверно террорист ? Закопать тубы в землю убить много людей (зимой подвижка почвы 20-50 см при прорыве газовой трубы взрыв уничтожит все рядом на площади примерно как футбольное поле, а камни и земля разлетится на 200-300 метров) Поэтому трубы в сельской местности только по воздуху. В городах их закапывают очень глубоко и там подвижки почвы почти нет.
Регистрация нужна для государства так как от количества зарегистрированных выделяются деньги местным властям на строительство садиков школ больниц и т.д. Регистрация ни как не влияет на оказание медицинских услуг (все давно в электронном виде) Заболел в далеко от дома вам так же помогут вне зависимости от места пребывания
некоторые пункты про медицину и я не знал 😀
@@inoxman3425 Ну все в открытом доступе Даже все закупки по вашей больницы вы можете посмотреть что у них куплено а что нет и ждет закупки
(в ютубе одни ныли что бахилы платные , посмотрел закуплены около 200 тыс шт, спросили у глав врача он сказал все бесплатно это просто предприниматели зарабатывают как могут хотите платите не хотите получите бесплатные, за аренду предприниматель все равно заплатит больнице, а что он продает обычно не согласовывают, пока не прижмут )
Our gas pipes are underground and have been for years. Rarely do they explode or break.
@@deethornburg4014 У вас температура зимой -30C и грунт промерзает на 1 метр и больше ? Если нет то трубы можно и закопать.
As foreigner you get free emergency care in state and municipal healthcare organizations regardless of having private or state insurance.
Thx so much
Very interesting Sam, sounds so much better than the mess we have in the USA where it is all about the $'s and many people are in financial ruin because of high medical care cost.
Great video Sam, i have worked in pharmacy for years and unlikely to add anything that is not said. - The RF sounds extremely reasonable and appropriate, in the U.S. being charged $300 for a 90 cent inhaler is beyond it.
Nice video
Thank you Sam thats very informative.
Congragulations on your 50k subscribers👍👍💚

Sam, there are long queues at policlinics not because there are too many patients or too few doctors, but because people like coming there looong before the time of their appointment))) There can be cases when people need something urgent, too (to understand if they really need to go to a hospital with their kind of pain), but in most cases they just come to talk. Now all state policlinics switch to Moscow standard, where you come to the reception area, scan your insurance policy number, choose the doctor you need, choose the time slot that's free, get a ticket with the doctor's name, date and time, and come at the required time. But even with this system, I'm sure some people will come 2-3 hours before the appointment)
Hey Sam, I remember you mentioned there's an Irish lad who owns an irish pub in your city, did you ever make a video about going there and chatting with him? Can you link it?
I actually just filmed a video with him today!!!!!! I’ll upload in the next couple of days.

Sam do you know anything about foreign state pensions. I understand that a private pension may require some documents to be filled out and then perhaps an account could be set up at Sverbank. But, what about a government pension from a western country?
Honestly I don’t know. You need to ask in your country. I’ve heard that some can be stopped if you are not residing there
As a american I'd rather go to a Indian medicine man or a voodoo priest then a US Hospital
Hahaha it will cost less, that’s for sure
You are not American, but merely an illiterate troll.
I do know that in the US that the highest form of bankruptcy is from medical charges & here in the UK & Ireland both systems are struggling with mounting waiting lists, while NHS dentists are now an endangered species - but that is Neoliberalism for you - thank you for the info & if I were younger I would join you.
It’s shame to see the problems that the NHS face
It is the slo mo version of neoliberal shock therapy that was visited on Russia in the 90's before Putin gradually dismantled it - privatise everything & Starmer won't stand in it's way.
Вот это 100% не всем в России понятно," как это нужна платная страховка,чтобы пользоваться услугами врачей!??"-Вы больница,у вас вывеска👆 так что лечите, у меня болит живот или я порезал палец.Вы больница,у вас вывеска так что вы не имеете морального права, меня не вылечить!"Такое в голове у большинста а не то что можно -50-70к рублей за это платить в месяц🙂🙂🙂🙂есть конечно платные кабинеты но они давали клятву!!
Чёт я в клятве не вижу ничего про бесплатность.

Light-years ahead of our system in Portugal. Lucky Russians! (In the end, I see pears 🍐)
I always wondered these very questions about russian healthcare, it's like a hybrid version of my canadian system but a thousand times cheaper. Never seen a bill for healthcare before but now there starting to charge us for all sorts of things. Our medicine is not free at all but hugely expensive. Fascinating to say the least, this system should be studied and implemented in other countries. Thank you for doing a video on this topic!
Thanks 🙏 yes! Though I’ve heard people travel outside of Russia for life threatening conditions
I very much enjoy your videos Sam. Im glad God is guiding you in your life in Russia. Could you do video on the Chrisyian church in Russia? Here in the States, there are many Carvary Chaples in the California area.
Hi mate, I’ve done quite a few videos in churches. To be honest, I don’t attend the church often because it doesn’t feel like the church that I like.
$40 for the dentist...smh. I recently had a crown done here in the US. $1300. After insurance. I need to get to the consulate, get a visa, and get out of this nuthouse.
Many Russians who live overseas will travel back to Russia for this reason!
Thank'YOU a patient.... 🤣🤣🤣... 🏋️🥃
Именно так, ситуация в здравоохранении сильно меняется в зависимости от региона. В Московской области все шоколадно, а вот в соседней Тверской полная задница, потому что разница в оплате между Москвой и Тверью как минимум в несколько раз. Поэтому в Тверской области жесткая нехватка кадров, в районах медицина просто умерла. И это при том, что в Твери хороший медуниверситет
Hi, informative vlog. One Q have is when I go to Russia --as you said just get the typical "travel insurance" if I plan to stay 4 to 6wks etc...but what about in at pharmacy and OTC stuff like people buy (same just go buy it at the till Im sure. Is there other little medicines you can just buy at the till if need it without getting a Drs prescription (Im sure a Dr from England or USA or Canada or Australia or any other country cant just write the script and show that lol----but I have seen 1 or 2 other Russian girls do vlogs and they say sometimes you can luck out and just talk to person at the till and they will sell it at some barter price.
So if you have a genuine illness then I don’t see the problem going to the doctor for a prescription. Theoretically you could try and blag it if it’s prescribed medication. You can just say that you didn’t know if they questioned you. For mental health medication it’s now much more strict in Russia too,
Thank you Sam for letting us know more about Russia
You’re welcome!
I have what is considered very good medical insurance, it covers 80% of the costs. One complaint is the dental care. It only covers $1000 a year. With the costs rising every day, $1000 doesn't cover hardly anything. A lot of people in the US will travel to Mexico for certain health care procedures, elective or not. But they must be careful not to go to an unlicensed hack who may end up doing more damage or causing your death. It makes me wonder if these were peaceful times, would it be advantageous to get some work done in Russia?

@@dkrawk8309 When I was young my mom had pain through the night on her right side...when the morning came i told her to go to the doctor ...she went ..while at the office the DR called a ambulance it was her appendix.....she went right in for surgery...the surgeon came out and told me your mom is very lucky...her appendix had burst but miraculously the fluid got trapped in her abdominal cavity and didnt spread for she would have died...he said he never saw that in all his years...God is beautiful!
'Western standards'? It is totally different in the US than it is in Ireland or UK, France or Germany. All are different. I know it is in some ways more primitive but I would feel a lot safer there.
But the West have Dr Fauci....
Stupid wasted comment

You will always have someone who bitch about their healthcare and will insist on going elsewhere, even if it costs them more. It seems a mix of being a snob about healthcare and showing off they can go out of country. We have it happen in Canada. We have Americans sneaking across the border, pretending to be Canadian to get healthcare, often rushing across the border just ahead of the police. While we have Canadians who hate Canadian healthcare, and will pay more out of pocket in the US for what they could get for free in Canada. BTW, if justified Canadian healthcare will pay your cost for Canadians to go out of Canada for healthcare services BUT it has to be justified due to your medical needs and service availability at the time, as wait times, and services available vary, as does medical needs.
Currently in Canada, as it seems to be the case in the UK, conservative parties are doing their best to break and then privatize the Canadian healthcare services. Which means under funding public services like hospitals, in some cases closing them, while the government pays more by for profit service providers and in some cases forcing Canadians to pay out of pocket for services, that were always covered by universal healthcare. The conservatives want to replace Canadian universal healthcare system with a US style single payer privatized system, based on private insurance plans. It is sad seeing our healthcare system being destroyed before your eyes by corrupt ideologues politicians. Brits must feel the same as Canadians, seeing their NHS being destroyed too.
For serious surgeries you should come to big cities in Russia, you can find a lot of great doctors there. I'm not even saying about Moscow because it's just fantastic there.
Yes! That’s what I said, many people try to make registration in Moscow for this reason.

Thanks, Sam. Do all/any meds require a prescription?
Not all, but some... For example, antibiotics are only by prescription... At the same time, medicines for chronic diseases, such as diabetes, are given free of charge on prescription right in polyclinics....
The issue is storage of medicine and doctors because of the War.
I have wondered about this very subject. Where do doctors and nurses attend school for the medical profession?
Ты странные вопросы задаёшь. В каждом городе есть медицинские учебные заведения, любое обучение - бесплатно. В Россию на врача приезжают учится со всего Мира. Посмотри сюда : Медицинская улица, 5А, Нижний Новгород. Даже улица названа в честь училища. Здесь учатся студенты из 50 стран, преподают на русском языке.
