The search for external sources of financing (for example, the development of recreational resources) will improve the quality of medical services in the face of tight financial constraints. It is necessary to redistribute funds between inpatient and outpatient medical care in favor of sanatorium care, as well as preventive care of a healthy lifestyle. The successful combination of these practices in Russian conditions can contribute to improving the efficiency of the health care system, reducing mortality and morbidity, and increasing the level of life expectancy.
