Show detail Hide detail

This is a documentary about a work-to-rule campaign by Russian doctors and other health care workers who protest that their wages are too low now that there is a greatly devalued ruble and steep rises in the cost of living. Subjects discussed include: concern that patients are endangered by the work-to-rule campaign; pressures on the health care system; the lack of nationwide testing for AIDS; the lack of medical supplies and equipment; the wages of health care workers; a prediction that the economic policy will lead to labor unrest; the prospect of a mix of public and private health care; a health insurance plan and the risk that doctors will move to the United States or other countries where their economic prospects are better. Interviewees include: doctors; an economist who speaks at a protest rally for the health care workers; and an economist with the U.S.-Canada Institute in Moscow. Elizabeth Gray accompanies an ambulance going to the home of seven-year-old boy, Aloysha, who has been in an accident. She describes the scene in the boy’s home, where the mother and grandmother are drunk and the house is in a state of squalor. The ambulance takes Aloysha to a hospital, where he receives treatment. <17mn 27s>
