Foreigners will be able to receive opinions only in state or municipal medical institutions

The Ministry of Health proposed to prohibit private clinics from issuing certificates on the health status of migrants. The Office prepared a bill that would require foreign citizens to undergo examination only in state or municipal medical facilities. To apply for a work permit in Russia, a temporary residence permit or a residence permit, migrants must pass HIV tests, be tested by an expert in narcology and obtain a certificate of absence of dangerous diseases. According to experts, some private clinics for money issue fake imprisonment.

The Ministry of Health believes that private clinics should not issue certificates on the health status of migrants. The Office drafted amendments to the law “On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation”, according to which such conclusions will only be valid from state and municipal medical institutions. Regions will not be able to transfer this right to private clinics.

– Now medical certificates on the state of health of migrants, according to the federal law “On the Legal Status of Foreign Citizens in the Russian Federation,” may be issued by any medical organization that has permission from local government authorities. Such a license can get even a private clinic. The Ministry of Health of Russia proposes to exclude private traders from this system in order to prevent the possibility of issuing falsified certificates, “Izvestia” was told in the department.

A medical certificate for a migrant is needed to obtain a work permit, a temporary residence permit or a residence permit in Russia. Foreigners take tests for HIV, syphilis and other infectious diseases, are tested for tuberculosis, receive a certificate from an expert in narcology.

The draft law of the Ministry of Health states that the document should enter into force on January 1, 2018. Some regions have themselves refused private clinics in the system of checking migrants. For example, only public clinics examine foreigners in Moscow, the Saratov region and some other subjects.

Experts agree that such a system should be introduced throughout the country. Director of the Center for Socio-Political Monitoring of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Andrei Pokida, drew attention to the fact that it is possible to obtain a certificate in private clinics “without much difficulty”.

– Foreign citizens pay a certain amount, and then formally pass the doctors. Sometimes, and do not have to do it. And in state institutions, the level of inspections is higher, and the checks themselves are more strict. There are few opportunities to buy a medical certificate, – the expert believes.
