>In Moscow, treatment is world-class. Is this true in the public system as well? I'm asking since in Romania the public hospitals are still more miss than hit, even in big cities. Hospital managers are politically appointed leading to terrible corruption and inefficiencies, meaning waiting times can be pretty long so the doctors who work there refer you to their private practices, and while conditions on the surface look good and everything is covered by the public insurance in theory, sometimes hospitals are short on supplies, asking you or your relatives to bring stuff from home, the food can be terrible, and you never know what corners some staff might have cut and you end up picking some dangerous hospital transmitted bacteria leaving you worse off than when you came in. And sometimes, if you're unlucky, you can end up in healthcare hell where you get bounced around between different hospitals if each judges you're not their problem to deal with. Outside of big cities, you don't even want to go near any public hospital unless your situation is serious. When my mom was admitted to the local hospital for infectious diseases around 2008ish, there were roaches and rats everywhere and this was in a big medical university city of the country. Pretty sure the roaches and rats are gone nowadays, but still that was unacceptable.
