HEALTHCARE IN RUSSIA

GENERAL

The main reported health risks in Russia are from Poliomyelitis, Dysentery, Hepatitis A, Diphtheria, Tick-borne Typhus, Encephalitis and Lyme disease (in forested areas), Tuberculosis, Leishmaniasis, Meningitis and Rabies.

It is unusual for expatriates to contract any of these diseases, and most encounter no significant health problems as a result of living in Russia, but it is important to have the recommended immunisations and to take appropriate health precautions. Expatriates are often afflicted with depression and Seasonal Affective Disorder in winter.

The tap water is not safe for drinking and should be boiled to avoid gastrointestinal infections. Bottled water is widely available. Dairy products are safe, but meat and fish should be well cooked, fruit should be peeled and vegetables cooked.

All foreign citizens who are living and working in Russia are required to have private medical insurance - this is a prerequisite of being issued a visa. Private western-style healthcare is quite expensive and it is usually necessary to pay for treatment up front. Typically, a single consultation costs around US$120. There are good private clinics in Moscow and St Petersburg, with western-trained doctors. There is also an American dental clinic in Moscow. Expatriates requiring specialist medical treatment often fly to Helsinki or return to their home countries.
