[The technology of introducing the system of obligatory medical insurance for the rural population].

The paper deals with organization of obligatory medical insurance of the rural population of Moscow Province. Present-day public health system provides virtually unequal availability of medical care rendered to the urban (compactly living) and rural (living at larger territories than in cities) residents. The aim of the law "On Medical Insurance of the Citizens of the Russian Federation" as far as it concerns medical care rendered to any population groups in accordance with requirements in such care should be implemented by the local administration, including newly created or specialized funds of obligatory medical insurance, organs of public health management, and financial organs. The system of regulation created by these organs should provide equalization of the scope and quality of medical care rendered to the urban and rural population.
