| Summary: | The article discusses the current state of affairs and issues related to the
Russian medical tourism market. It is shown that medical tourism, as a
component of health tourism, involves the organised travel of potential
patients to medical clinics outside their country or region to receive
qualified medical assistance at reasonable prices. Based on data from the
global ranking of countries in medical tourism, it is established that
Russia has achieved certain successes in the development of this sector of
the green economy in the service industry over a relatively short period,
but at the same time, there are numerous problems requiring resolution. The
use of interdisciplinary and socio-geographical scientific approaches and
methods has revealed modern challenges and risks in medical tourism,
outlining strategic directions for its development, including for typical
groups of Russian regions, megacities, and resort complexes. The dominant
role of medical institutions in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and several other
regional centre cities of the Russian Federation has been identified.
Vector priorities for outbound medical tourism, including a shift in the
interest of Russian citizens from European destinations to Southeast Asian
ones while maintaining the role of Israel and certain European countries,
have been determined. The formation of medical tourism clusters in regions
and cities under conditions of public-private partnership is recommended.
The strategic directions for the development of model groups of regions are
proposed. |
