Resolution of December 29, 2025 No. 2188
Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed a decree approving a program of state guarantees for free medical care for citizens for 2026 and the planning period of 2027 and 2028.
The program has been supplemented with a number of new provisions aimed at increasing the accessibility and quality of free medical care for Russian residents.
Specifically, it includes a subsection defining the procedures for providing medical care at health centers being established across the country as part of the national "Health for Everyone" project. Their main goal will be to identify signs of premature aging and the risks of developing age-related diseases, as well as to prevent and treat them.
The program has also been expanded to include new, modern methods of providing specialized, including high-tech, medical care. These include photodynamic therapy for bladder cancer, percutaneous energy neurolysis of the celiac plexus under X-ray television guidance, laparoscopic biliopancreatic diversion, and laparoscopic gastric bypass.
New methods have been added to the list of high-tech medical care types using a number of unique treatment methods applied in cardiovascular surgery, hematology, and organ transplantation: "pancreatic islet cell transplantation," "kidney and pancreatic islet cell transplantation," and "upper limb and its fragment transplantation."
To identify genetic disorders and chromosomal abnormalities in embryos, to prevent the birth of a child with a genetic disease and to increase the chances of a successful pregnancy through IVF, the program includes the costs of collecting and sending material for preimplantation genetic testing and for structural chromosomal rearrangements.
In addition, the program increases the volume of free medical care provided to patients with oncological diseases in day and 24-hour hospitals, patients with hepatitis C, and as part of medical rehabilitation.
