Last year, the All-Russian Union of Insurers (VSS) found that 370,000 patients with cardiovascular diseases were provided with poor-quality medical care.
Over the past year, the number of reported cases has risen by more than a third and almost 40,000 more than in previous years.
The number of complaints about the quality of care in cardiology has risen to a record high of almost 140,000.
In addition to medical problems, patients cited difficulty making appointments and paying for services that should be free. However, despite these problems, cardiologists acknowledge that some regions, such as Moscow, have found solutions to improve the situation.
The number of violations in the provision of medical care has increased by more than a third compared to last year and reached 370 thousand cases, according to the data of the All-Russian Union of Insurers.
Insurance companies reported 260,000 violations in 2020, up from 324,000 in pre-pandemic 2019.
