title: [Organization of medical care for rural population in Samara Region].
abstract: Aspects of availability of medical care and the specificity of its organization were studied with respect to territorial differences. The below specific features are typical of the medical care in those rural settlements, which are closer to a rural center: higher rate and number of in-hospital stays; a bigger share of medical care, including in-hospital stay, at the regional and city levels; as well as lower absolute and higher relative costs of people for medical care. In view of the above features, it is necessary to optimize the rural structure of medical care through advancing the cooperation between territories and through shaping rational flows of patients within medical corporative centers.
