Doctors' salaries vary greatly across Russia's regions, according to the "To Be Precise" study. The lowest doctor salaries are recorded in Ingushetia (65,000 rubles), Kabardino-Balkaria (67,000), Kalmykia (69,000), Chechnya (70,000), and Karachay-Cherkessia (71,000). The highest doctor salaries are in the Yamalo-Nenets (241,000) and Nenets Autonomous Okrugs (197,000). Moscow ranks only ninth (144,000 rubles).
A similar picture is observed among mid-level medical personnel. The lowest salaries are in the North Caucasus republics: in Ingushetia (32,000 rubles), in Chechnya (35,000), and in Karachay-Cherkessia and Kabardino-Balkaria (36,000 and 37,000 rubles, respectively). Mid-level medical personnel earn the most in Yamal (124,000), the Nenets Autonomous Okrug (106,000), and the Magadan Region (103,000). However, wages are declining across Russia as a whole, with most regions either growing slightly or declining.
