State mandatory medical insurance system versus private medical sector: the need for pragmatic partnerships in today's environment of tight budget limitations It is already clear that the health system is facing a serious problem of a growing budget deficit. Meanwhile, the cost of medical care is increasing, expensive new drugs are appearing and liabilities towards patients are increasing. Against this background, the problem of finding the balance between public and private medicine becomes particularly relevant - industry representatives discussed it in detail at the Sixth "Right to Health" Congress. Following the discussion, we are publishing a writer's column by Elena Latisheva, chairman of the board of directors of the group of companies. How to maintain the sustainability of health services and make treatment accessible We adhere to the position we share with the NANMO and NAUZ associations: instead of mutual opposition to mandatory medical insurance, voluntary health insurance and paid services, it is time to move to a pragmatic partnership that will benefit the state, business and especially patients. And here is the reason. Partnership for national goals. In the current economic situation, unifying the efforts of the state and businesses will enable the achievement of national goals faster and with less burden on the budget. To implement measures to achieve these goals, additional resources must be attracted. Such resources with the help of which the risks of not achieving the target indicators of the national project "Health", federal projects and other programs in time will be reduced. One such resource is the private healthcare system. The private sector is a ready resource already created without budgetary costs. Clinics were built, heavy equipment was purchased with private investment. Every ruble invested by private organizations reduces the burden on the state and helps move toward national goals faster and cheaper.

A unified plan to achieve national development goals must include the participation of all "stakeholders", including businesses.
