Neoliberalism in the Higher Education: the Case of RussiaDarya Reshetnikova
The goal of this presentation is to explain the main features of neoliberalism in the context of Russia’s higher education.
The period of neoliberal impact on Russia’s higher education can be roughly divided on two decades: “negative” (1990s - 2000s) and “positive” (2000s - 2010s). The first ten years were characterized by transformation of HEIs as a result of marketization (so called “academic capitalism” with certain criteria of HEIs efficiency), transformation of knowledge (downsizing in the humanities, prestige of the “ideological” disciplines), transformation of teaching practices (rise of corruption in education). The development of Russia’s higher education during the next ten years took relatively positive directions: increase of the role of administrators in the HEIs (“managerial revolution”), expansion and advancement of e-learning (using of e-learning in all forms of education is provided by Russian legislation), new reforms (Unitary national state examination, new ‘federal’ status of the most large universities, status of ‘National Universities’ with a large institutional and financial autonomy) and ratification of Bologna declaration (introcuction of 2-cycles educational system, etc.).

Sri Lanka has achieved strong health outcomes over and above what is commensurate with its income level. The country has made significant gains in essential health indicators, witnessed a steady increase in life expectancy among its people, and eliminated malaria, filariasis, polio and neonatal tetanus. The Sri Lanka HiT review presents a comprehensive overview of the different aspects of the country’s health system, and the background and context within which the health system is situated. The review also presents information on reforms to address emerging health needs such as the growing challenge of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) and serving a rapidly ageing population
The Solomon Islands HiT determines that the country’s health system has significant weaknesses but also considerable strengths. Despite the range and difficulty of issues facing policy-makers in the Solomon Islands, there have been significant achievements in health, including considerable progress in advancing population health status. The performance of the health system is positive, achieving high coverage, high satisfaction levels, and steady progress on health outcomes. Nonetheless, the country faces important health challenges that could undermine development gains made to date
The Thailand HiT reports that sustained political commitment to the health of the population since the 1970s has resulted in significant investment in health infrastructure, in particular primary health care, district and provincial referral hospitals, and strengthened the overall functioning of the Thai health system. After Thailand achieved universal health coverage in 2002, public expenditure on health significantly increased from 63% to 77% and out-of-pocket expense was reduced from 27.2% to 12.4% of the total health spending in 2011.
Explore our infographic on 'Essential Metrics for Palliative Care Management' which highlights key performance indicators crucial for enhancing the quality and efficiency of palliative care services.
This visual guide breaks down important metrics across four categories: Patient-Centered Metrics, Care Efficiency Metrics, Quality of Life Metrics, and Staff Metrics. Each section is designed to help healthcare professionals monitor and improve care delivery for patients facing serious illnesses. Understand how to implement these metrics in your palliative care practices for better outcomes and higher satisfaction levels.
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

11. Russia seems to be a good case as the country’s health system
is undergoing great changes switching from budget (Semashko
model), to basic (limited) social insurance with a strong emphasis
on individual responsibility. However, but Russian health care
has not improved much
The Russian case stresses the importance of health policy
formulation in the course of health Reforms. Though the
strategic aim of securing good health for all is declared by
Russian politicians, the health system model that is emerging in
the course of the reforms is unlikely to reach this aim.
In fact health policy not only fails to solve the old problems but
creates new ones, like widening the inequality in health status
and access to health service.

13. Healthcare reform in the federation 1990 :-
1- Introduction of compulsory health insurance (CHI);
2-Decentralization of governance, administration and provision of health
services;
3-Development of welfare mix in health care with the emphasis on
private sector.
The Soviet Union has budget medicine usually referred to as Semashko
model.
In the beginning of 1990s new financing and management mechanisms
have been introduced -:

Compulsory health insurance contributions paid by employers for the
employed and by local administration for the employed;
14. Social determinants of health
Migrant health and health matters associated with migration are important
public health challenges for the Russian Federation. Since the 1990s,
there have been major population movements in the Russian Federation,
with economic migrants from neighboring states seeking job opportunities
and internal movements between rural and urban areas, particularly to
Moscow.
Women in the Russian Federation bear a heavy burden of chronic
diseases. This is due mainly to the poor quality of preventive care and
sexual education for women, relatively high rates of adolescent
pregnancies and abortions, exposure to risk factors, like tobacco alcohol
and unhealthy diets.
While general poverty levels have fallen . relatively high vulnerability to
poverty remains a concern. Poverty rates in the poorest regions are 45
times those in the richest.

Rapid modernization of this large emerging economy has not been uniform, with
17. The aim of “Health care development”, approved by Government
Resolution No. 294-r of 15 April 2014 :
, is to make medical care more accessible and more efficient, with the
volume, quality and types of care commensurate with disease incidence
rates and the needs of the population, consistent with the latest medical
advances and with the WHO European Health 2020 framework .
The programmes covers the period 2013–2020 and comprises 11
subprogrammers, each with a specific purpose, a major direction,
financial provision, implementation mechanisms and indicators of
effectiveness. The concept of long-term socioeconomic development up
to 2020, approved by Government Directive No. 1662-r of 17 November
2008 .addresses issues of modernization and development of health
care based on a multi-sectorial approach.
18. The demographic policy of the Russian Federation up to 2025 was
passed by Presidential in year 2007 :
. A ground-breaking legislative platform for improving the health
care system was recently created with adoption of Federal laws on
Compulsory medical insurance in the Russian Federation (2010)
and on The basis of public health protection in the Russian
Federation (2011)
A sustainable national policy on the leading risk factors has been
initiated, with approval of a State policy to reduce alcohol abuse
and prevent alcoholism
19. Laws aimed at administrative reform did not fully take into account the
specific features that are characteristic for the provision of health
services or the existing network of health facilities.
In accordance with the Federal Law on General Principles of
Organizing Local Government in the Russian Federation,
the municipalities bore responsibility for the provision of primary and
emergency care, as well as maternity services (including ante-natal
and postnatal care).
This sharing of responsibility envisaged the transfer of municipal
institutions providing secondary care to the regional level. Over 75%
of the inpatient health facilities in the country are at the municipal
level.
The network of municipal health facilities, particularly in large cities,
includes multi-profile hospitals providing inpatient care in areas such
as cardiology, surgery, ophthalmology, and so on.
20. The Russian Federation inherited a large network of primary care
facilities that covers the entire territory. Primary care physicians and
pediatricians work with specialists In outpatient facilities,
while specialized medical care is delivered in hospitals, clinics,
diagnostic and treatment centers and dispensaries.
The infrastructure is largely intact in urban areas, but there has been
a substantial cut in the number of hospital beds, and the number of
health care organizations in order to optimize the public health
infrastructure and to build a three-tier health care system.
New structural reforms are aimed at improving the availability and
quality of health care, especially for people living in remote regions
and rural areas. The Russian Federation ranks first among
developed countries in the number of physicians per 1000
population, which was about 4.1 in 2013.
21. The health service infrastructure delivered care through a hierarchy of
facilities. The basic unit was the ‘uchastok’ and in rural areas this covered
a population of approximately 4000. Their primary care needs were met
by the health post, which was often staffed by nurses or feldshers.
Any problems that required more complex help would be referred to a
rural health centre, which would normally employ a general physician and
a generalist paediatrician in addition to nursing staff.
These centres provided a mixture of primary and routine secondary care
and often had a small number of inpatient beds.
More complex cases still would be referred to rayon polyclinics or
hospitals. These were district level facilities offering specialist secondary
services in either an outpatient setting (polyclinics) or on an inpatient
basis (hospitals). These fed into the oblast or regional polyclinics and
hospitals, which in turn could refer to Republican level or The major
centres of excellence .
22. The models of provision and the services offered are as follows:
Health Posts/Feldsher-Midwife Stations :
cover a population of about 4000 persons and offer immunization, basic
health checks and routine examinations, as well as care during pregnancy and
for the newborn. They are also able to treat minor injuries and make home
visits but cannot prescribe. Staff (i.e. a feldsher/midwife) are normally trained
for two years beyond the basic nurse training and are employed by the local
government body and supervised via the nearest health centre or polyclinic.
There is no patient choice.
Health Centres :
cover a number of uchastoks or "micro-districts" or larger rural conurbations of
7000 persons or above They are staffed by a general physician, a
paediatrician and sometimes an obstetrician or gynaecologist as well as
nursing staff. They offer a range of primary care services, including
immunization, screening, treatment of minor ailments and supervision of
chronic conditions, prescribing, sickness certification and twenty four hour
cover. Health centres tend to have a number of beds and are able to carry out
inpatient deliveries and perform minor surgery. Many of the beds however are
used for social care and tend to be occupied by the frail and elderly rather than
the acutely ill.
23. Urban Polyclinics:
house a number of generalist (uchastok) physicians and auxiliary staff who prov

in large towns and cities there is a network of children’s polyclinics where genera
24. Enterprise Polyclinics:
some Medsanchast facilities survive and provide the staff of the
enterprise/s which support them with the same basic package of
primary provision available through residence based general
practitioners, although with an increased emphasis on occupational
health. There are also work-based polyclinics with outpatient
specialists and a very few examples of inpatient beds attached to
industry. These clinics are a legacy of the soviet concern for the
industrial worker.
25. Secondary care and tertiary care (specialized ambulatory care/ inpatient
care)
The network of secondary and tertiary facilities combines hospitals,
hospital outpatient clinics and specialist outpatient centres based in
polyclinics. The infrastructure inherited from the Soviet era remains
largely intact in urban areas, despite some bed and facility closures, but
in rural areas there has been a more substantial cut in the number of
facilities and beds, with the closure of many small village hospitals (see
section 4.1.1). Care is still organized on a territorial basis. The basic units
that provide secondary and tertiary care are as follows:
26. Small rural hospitals (uchastkovye bol’nitsy):
These are small hospitals with average capacity of 30 beds offering fairly
basic inpatient cover, often with a staff team of a surgeon,
District (raionnye) hospitals:
These hospitals serve the population of large rural municipalities. The
average
capacity of such hospitals is about 130 beds.
Central district (raionnye) hospitals:
These hospitals serve the population of rural municipalities at the
administrative
centre for the area. The average capacity of a central district hospital is 200
beds.
City hospitals:
Urban municipalities have multi-profile city hospitals with a capacity of 150–
800 beds for adults and about 100–300 beds for children.
27. Regional hospitals:
Each region has a general hospital for adults (500–1000 beds) and a general
hospital for children (300–600 beds) that accept referrals of complex cases
from district hospitals and polyclinics,
Regional specialized clinics (dispanserii):
Most specialized clinics are integrated facilities with outpatient and inpatient
departments; about one-third have only outpatient departments. Specialist
outpatient services are also provided at the regional level.
Federal hospitals and federal specialized clinics (dispanserii):
These offer the most complex care at large and highly specialized hospitals
or clinics. These are often associated with research institutes in their
respective
Hospitals and specialized clinics in parallel systems :
Parallel systems under ministries other than the MoHSD tend to concentrate
their secondary and tertiary care services to other ministries.
28. Day care:
More often day-care units are established in outpatient departments (60%
of day-care beds are placed in outpatient facilities . Since 2000, the number
of day-care beds in hospitals increased by 26% and the number of patient-
days in both types of day-care units (established in out- and inpatient
facilities) increased by 55%. In 2008, average length of treatment provided
in day-care units was 11.4 days, and the number of operations provided in
these units was 5 per 100 discharged
Rehabilitation/intermediate care:
There are 47 sanatoria and health resorts under the jurisdiction of the
MoHSD, with a total bed capacity exceeding 11 000. In 2009, more than
112 000 individuals received sanatorium–resort care (including 60 344
(53.6%) whose treatment was funded with public money).
29. Palliative care :-
services have evolved out of cancer treatment services, and there is
strong collaboration between the statutory health system and the
international hospice movement. Approximately 90% of palliative care
services are state funded
Mental health :-
Mental health services are organized “vertically” in the same way as
specialist services for other priority diseases such as diabetes, TB,
HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, cancer services and vaccine-
preventable diseases. Nevertheless, mental health has traditionally
been a low priority
30.

32.
33. Decentralization and centralization
Following the break-up of the Soviet Union, almost all forms of
decentralization have been a part of reforms in the Russian Federation. In
the health sector, only the sanitary-epidemiological system was not much
affected by administrative reform and remained more or less centralized
throughout
Devolution :-
oblast- and local-level administrations managed their own medical
services; they appointed heads of territorial health authorities as well as
heads of appropriate medical facilities, and developed programmes for
improving the population’s health and preventing disease without the
approval of the federal ministry.
Delegation:-
Another significant form of decentralization in the Russian Federation is
delegation, prompted by the introduction of health insurance legislation
leading to the establishment of MHI Funds. The rationale was to create a
purchaser– provider split based on competitive market forces that would
promote efficiency but remain under public control
36. Planning
Strategic planning for health and the health system is the responsibility of
the MoHSD (see section 2.3). There have been moves to shift planning
away from input- to output-based criteria, but at present the
implementation of “outcome- oriented budgeting” is limited to the first
stage of budgeting process: budget planning
One of the main planning tools regarding the provision of medical care is
the development of the programme for state guarantees regarding free
medical care.
Health information management :-
The collating of national statistics is the responsibility of the Federal State
Statistics Service (Federal’naya sluzhba gosusardsvennoi statistiki
(Rosstat)). The Federal State Statistics Service gathers a wide range of
statistical information about health including the health status of the
population, resources in the health system and their utilization, the training
of health care providers and labour reimbursement in health, economic
aspects of the system’s activities, the consumption of goods and services
and others. Data collection is by mandatory report forms for national
statistics,
37. Health expenditure
Total health expenditure in the Russian Federation is lower than the average
level for CIS countries and considerably lower than the average for countries
of the European Union (EU) Per capita total health expenditure in the
Russian Federation is also comparatively low .
Public health funding is also quite low in comparison with other countries of
the WHO European Region .In addition, the share of public funding in total
health expenditure fell from 73.9% in 1995 to 64.4% in 2009 .
Most private expenditure is in the form of out-of-pocket payments,
particularly for outpatient pharmaceuticals, which are explicitly excluded from
the guaranteed packages of care
38.
39.
40. Private expenditure on health has been growing since the 1990s and
accounted for 35.6% of total health expenditure in 2009, most of which
(28.8%) was paid directly out of pocket . Although the significance of
private health insurance has grown, it remains a relatively small feature of
the system, particularly outside Moscow and other big cities .
The hybrid funding system means that there are two main types of pool
for prepaid funds: the MHI (through its federal and territorial funds) and
budgets of different levels: federal, regional and municipal . Purchasing
through the MHI takes place at the regional level through the Territorial
MHI Funds on a contractual basis. Most purchasing at the municipal and
regional level from budgetary funds is conducted according to historical
budgeting processes .
43. In 2010, the new Law on Mandatory Health Insurance and the Law
on the Legal Status of Public Facilities were adopted. The Law on
Mandatory Health Insurance envisages mechanisms for transferring
the financing system from its current dual-stream financing to a
single-channelled system and aims to ensure the long-term financial
sustainability of the MHI system. The Law on the Legal Status of
Public Facilities aims to broaden the range of legal forms health
providers can have to strengthen responsibilities for provider
performance results and to grant providers more economic and
managerial flexibibilty .
44. Physical and human resources
Since independence in 1991, the size of the network of medical facilities has de
during the second decade there was a sharp contraction in the size of the netw
The decline in 1995–2000 was the result of both voluntary policies linked to the
45.
46. The reduction in hospital numbers has been accompanied by a reduction
in the number of hospital beds. These reductions have not been evenly
distributed across specialties and the impact of the lack of financial means
on sectors that were not considered a priority is significant;
47. Further implementation of reforms will depend on the government’s
ability to monitor the reform process, critically evaluate the
achievement of goals and targets, and to introduce changes when
needed. Central to the success of future reforms will be the broad
involvement of all the main stakeholders at all levels and obtaining
the support of regional authorities, as well as ensuring the support of
the medical community.
