Export of Medical Services in the Tyumen Region: Nosological Analysis for 2023-2024

In the context of increasing demand for cross-border medical services, the special significance of the analysis of Russian regional exports continues to grow. The Tyumen region, which has a developed medical infrastructure, needs a systematic assessment of its competitive advantages for integration into the international market. Nosological analysis allows to identify the most demanded areas of medical care among foreign patients, which helps to optimize resources and form a targeted marketing policy of the region. Despite the active development of federal programs for the medical service export, most studies focus on all-Russian data, while regional specifics (including geographical, economic and clinical features) remain poorly studied. The objective is to study the medical service export of this Russian Federation region while taking into account the priority nosological groups, as well as to direct the study to assess the structure of the region's medical service export, highlighting the nosologies with the greatest export potential. Another objective is to determine the contribution of individual diseases to the regional medical service export based on the graphical data. The unified reporting format ensures comparability of data, which allows the methodology to be used as a standardized approach to analyzing the nosological structure of exports. The results of the study identify key priorities for the development of the export potential of medical services. The methodological advantage of the study is based on the use of a unified reporting system, which provides comparability of data between regions; allows the application of standardized analytical approaches; forms a unified methodological base for management decisions and can be replicated in other Russian regions participating in the implementation of the Federal project on the medical service export.
