here's putin's view on russia health care system:::::
"Life expectancy in our country is 8-10 years lower than in neighboring European countries, the death rate from cardiovascular diseases is 4-5 times higher," Putin said.
The premier said a quarter of Russian hospitals were in very poor conditions, adding that 30% had no running hot water, let alone medical equipment, whose term of service is often expired.
All this added to meager wages and excessive management staff contributes to the poor quality of health care in Russia, he said.
