Rural treatment-and-prophylactic institutions (TPI) and mainly central regional hospitals (CRH) – the key rural health protection units – insufficiently control and improve the medical service system quality due to a number of reasons. In rural CRH a number of incomplete examination cases and, consequently, a number of wrong diagnosis cases is higher significantly. Incomplete treatment becomes evident in rural areas more frequently as well. As a result the treatment quality in rural CRH is lower significantly than in Tomsk TPI. It is necessary to draw a special attention to the problem of rural medical service quality increase and to liven up the control of privided medical service quality in regional centers.
