Health insurance and ambulance in Russia
Dear travelers!
At the time of entry to Russia, you must have a medical insurance policy valid for the entire stay in Russia!
Highly likely, the border guard will check only three documents - passport, visa and migration card, but you must have and present an insurance policy upon request. If you cannot provide a valid insurance, you will be denied entry to Russia.
You should know that EMERGENCY medical aid in Russia is absolutely free, regardless of your citizenship, available ID or insurance. But, if for medical reasons it is necessary to continue treatment in-hospital, then you need a valid health insurance policy or.. a lot of money.
Of course, you can buy an policy from your insurance company. But remember, that Russia is now under sanctions and cross-border payments are either impossible or require too much time, which you will not have while in the hospital. That is why we strongly recommend purchasing a medical policy from a Russian insurance provider. In this case, you can be absolutely sure, that Russian hospitals will accept it.
To not forgot about it in your holiday bustle before the trip, it is best buy a policy online now, only in 2 min from a reliable Russian company for only a couple of euros.

What is the Russian Ambulance Number
Calling an Ambulance (emergency medical aid) in Russia is absolutely free, regardless of your citizenship, availability of ID or insurance policy
Moreover, unlike many other countries, emergency crews do not consist of paramedics, but of certified doctors who have undergone extensive training. Therefore, you can be sure, that in the event of an accident you will receive qualified medical care.
Russian ambulancies are easy to recognize. Usually, these are white or yellow vans, with a red cross in front and behind, a red stripe along the sides and the inscription
СКОРАЯ МЕДИЦИНСКАЯ ПОМОЩЬ
(fast medical aid)
Locals in colloquial speech use only the first word (adjective) -
СКОРАЯ - S K O R A Y A

Of course, call an ambulance only when it really needed. For example, minor cuts, bruises or signs of colds are not emergencies. However, a broken arm (leg), head injury, too high blood pressure or too high body temperature, in Russia are legal reasons to call emergency medical services.
As in any other country, the operator will ask you a few questions. Be prepared to provide:
✅ What type of help you need,
✅ Your location (street name + building number or the nearest landmark)
✅ Your (or victim`s) name / surname / citizenship
✅ Your contact number
Most often, in large cities there are English-speaking operators. But what to do if you don't speak Russian and the dispatcher (and also medical staff) doesn't know English? In fact, that's what this article is all about. Read on and find out how to do this!

INSURANCE POLICY
Having a valid medical insurance policy is a mandatory condition for entry and stay in Russia. Many travelers treat this document as just one of the papers that needs to be shown to the border guard. We also hope, that you will need a policy only for this. Unfortunately, shit happens. And then this document becomes no less important than a passport.
As you already know, EMERGENCY medical aid in Russia is absolutely free (assistance at the scene of the incident, evacuation by ambulance car and the first two to three days in the hospital).
BUT, if for medical reasons it is necessary to continue treatment in-hospital (for example, a leg is broken), then you need a valid health insurance policy or.. a lot of money.
Of course, you can buy an policy from your insurance company. But, remember that Russia is now under sanctions and cross-border payments are either impossible or require too much time, which you will not have while in the hospital. That is why we strongly recommend purchasing a medical policy from a Russian insurance provider. In this case, you can be absolutely sure, that Russian hospitals will accept it.
To not forgot about it before the trip, buy a policy right now in just 2 minutes and a few EURos from one of the largest and most reliable Russian insurance companies:

IN AN AMBULANCE
- YOU SHOULD INFORM MEDICAL STAFFabout any chronic conditions, medicine (drug) allergies, other medical problems, and also blood type and Rh factor information.
How to say it in Russian
It's best to write this information down on paper and have your ID and health insurance policy with you at all times.
If for medical reasons it is necessary to continue treatment in-hospital, contact your insurance company representative.
We also recommend that you notify your embassy or consulate of your location and problems. If you are unable to do this yourself, contact the clinic staff. They are required to provide you with a call.

How to say it in Russian
If you ever find yourself in an emergency, being able to call emergency services is a very useful skill. Of course, only call emergency services when they're really needed. In Russia, there is a common number for emergency calls - 112. However, it will be much better to remember the direct numbers of fire, police and ambulances - this will help save valuable time. After all, it is only three simple numbers - 101, 102, 103. Read more here
The operator will ask you a number of questions. Be prepared to provide your location (street name + building number or the nearest landmark) and what type of help you need. But, how to say something in Russian if you don't know a word of Russian? The best solution is to ask someone around to help you and talk to the operator instead of you. Well, what to do if no one is around?

HELLO !
(FORMAL)
[ ZDRASTVUITE ! ]
ЗДРАВСТВУЙТЕ !

A formal greeting to any stranger (eg to policemen, cashier, and just to any person on the street), or to person you know who deserves respect (eg your boss). You can also use it when talking to a group of people because the word 'ZDRAVSTVUITE / ЗДРАВСТВУЙТЕ' can refer to one or more people.

please, HELP ME
[ PAMAGITE MNE (PAZHALUSTA) ]
ПОМОГИТЕ МНЕ (ПОЖАЛУЙСТА)
(RUS in Latin / RUS in Cyrillic)
A universal phrase is asking for help. Say this to any person, both staff at any store and just a passer-by on the street.
The Russian word 'PAZHALUSTA / ПОЖАЛУЙСТА' (please) is difficult enough to pronounce, so there is no problem if you just say 'PAMAGITE MNE / ПОМОГИТЕ МНЕ' (help me).
If you loudly shout one word 'PAMAGITE ! / ПОМОГИТЕ !' (help!), then those around you will understand that you need the police or an ambulance.
