Export of Medical Services in the Tyumen Region: Nosological Analysis for 2023

Introduction. Since 2019, the export of Russian medical services has been realized in accordance with the “Development of the export of medical services” regional project that is being implemented in 70 subjects of the Russian Federation. This initiative has drawn significant interest from the scientific community, particularly regarding the strategies developed by various regions to promote inbound medical tourism and export of medical services. While much of the focus has been on the export potential and programs aimed at attracting foreign patients, there is a scarcity of studies of nosologies, or medical specialties, which are the basis of the strategy for regional export of medical services.

The goals of the study were to analyze the export of medical services in the Tyumen Region in the context of export-oriented medical specialties in demand  from  foreign  citizens,  to  determine  the  strategic  significance of certain medical specialties within the export  system,  as  well  as  to  identify  the  strategic  development of their export potential upon graphical data. As statistical report on the export of medical services for this year is unified, this study aims at setting the standard for nosological analysis for regional management teams involved in project implementation.

Results and conclusion. The study was based on the data on the export of medical services in the Tyumen region for 2023. The work discusses revenue by sources of financing, including the types of medical care (inpatient, outpatient, and day hospital). Average costs of medical care and medical specialties being of particular interest for the development of regional export programs not only in terms of profitability but also with focus on the burden on the healthcare system, were identified. The possible strategies for developing the potential of certain medical specialties were determined by the method of graphical analysis.
