Khabarovsk Krai's 57B healthcare overhaul promises high-tech medicine but delays longevity clinics
Healthcare in Khabarovsk Krai is undergoing major changes in 2026. Governor Dmitry Demeshin has secured an extra 5 billion rubles, bringing the region's total healthcare budget to 57.23 billion. The funding boost aims to improve medical services, expand prevention, and introduce new technologies.
One key focus is transforming existing health centres into specialised Longevity and Healthy Aging Clinics. However, as of February 2026, none of these clinics have yet opened in the region's cities or districts.
The 2026 programme introduces several major upgrades. Advanced medical services are now available, including photodynamic cancer therapy, complex eye surgeries, and organ transplants. Residents can also access IVF and genetic screening under mandatory health insurance.
Preventive care has expanded significantly. Early disease detection for cancer, heart conditions, and other risks now covers all age groups. The region is also prioritising medical rehabilitation for injured veterans of the special military operation.
Digital healthcare plays a growing role. Telemedicine services are being rolled out to remote settlements to cut recovery times and lower mortality rates. These changes align with Demeshin's broader reforms, which also target housing, utilities, and urban infrastructure.
Despite the plans, no Longevity and Healthy Aging Clinics have launched yet. The region still lacks operational sites for these specialised centres, though funding and structural preparations continue.
The 5 billion ruble increase will fund new treatments, prevention, and digital solutions across Khabarovsk Krai. Residents will gain access to high-tech procedures, earlier disease detection, and remote medical support. However, the promised longevity clinics remain in development, with no confirmed opening dates.
