Up To 500,000 Doctors Missing: Russia’s Healthcare Crisis Is Escalating
Russia is facing a healthcare staffing shock that doesn’t fit the official TV picture.
In this Russian Economy Weekly Review, we break down reports and estimates showing up to 500,000 doctors missing from the system—and what that shortage means in real life: longer queues, overworked staff, closed departments, and collapsing access to basic care outside the biggest cities.
I’ll structure this episode in my usual three layers:
1) Microeconomic agents (people + companies)
2) Microeconomics (industries)
3) Macroeconomics (the whole system)
This is not a “medicine” stream. It’s an economy stream—about how a workforce shortage inside healthcare becomes a national bottleneck. Watch to the end for the key question: if the system is short hundreds of thousands of doctors—who will treat Russians in 2026?
If you want a clear, structured snapshot of where Russia’s economy is heading—and what the gold story may be warning us about—this is the episode.
