Social crisis and the formation of medico‐social service in Russia

Abstract

Socio‐economic reforms have changed the social life of Russia. A large number of social problems in the transition period has negatively affected the social well‐being and health of the nation. The critical situation of the health care system does not allow for the maintenance of the public health of the Russian population at the required level. To solve this problem, it is necessary to improve social services in Russia. The training of medico‐social workers is currently being conducted within the system of higher medical education in Russia with the support of the Swedish universities.
