Medical tourism has become the issue in many scientific works of Russian and foreign researches today [3; 4].
The Ministry of health of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of foreign Affairs, the Federal tourism Agency and the Russian Association of medical tourism (RAMT) began developing a project to promote the services of Russian doctors and medical institutions abroad. According to the Deputy Head of the Federal tourism Agency, Sergey Korneev, incoming medical tourism and sanatorium-resort complexes are actively promoted [7].
In recent years there has been a noticeable increase in the number of coming foreigners to get treatment in Russia. According to the data of the Russian Association of medical tourism [9], for the first half of 2016 the number of patients who came for treatment in Russia has grown by about 30% in comparison with the same period in 2015
