As Russia is deprived of an impressive health care infrastructure, people in Russia depend on foreign countries to avail better health care options without any waiting time. Finland medical care has been targeting Russia to get business from patients arriving here each year. The patients opine that the cost of health care in Finland is equal to owning a luxury car.

The health care sector in Finland has shown continuous improvement over the years as the government has been investing a lot on it to make health care beneficial to the revenue of the country. However, the cost of treatment is quite higher here when compared to other countries offering medical tourism. It holds back middle class people from visiting Finland for treatment. They visit other countries abroad to get treated at a lower cost. It has been found that more than 100,000 Russians travel abroad for health care each year, but only around one percent of them came to Finland. It is all because of the medical expenses in Finland, which cannot be afforded by all citizens in Russia.
