Unmet need for healthcare in the Russian Federation: subnational retrospective modelling analysis (2014-2018).

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Unmet need for healthcare is a proxy indicator used to assess the performance of healthcare systems throughout the world. While the Russian Federation is committed to improving healthcare for its citizens, barriers to access remain.

Methods

Using data from a region-level survey, we document and analyse the extent of the unmet need for healthcare at both national and subnational levels in the Russian Federation for the years 2014-2018. We used a panel fixed effects modelling approach to examine the link between unmet need and its correlates at the subnational level. We also used data from various sources that addressed the reasons underlying unmet need to interpret the findings from the modelling analysis.

Results

Approximately one-third of the Russian pop
