| Abstract. | This investigation is devoted to cluster approach that may turn into one of the effective means of the region’s economic development. The primary task of our investigation is analyzing of the main stages of cluster formation and development of the term «cluster». Another key point is studying programs supporting clusters development politics in Russian Federation and Republic of Tatarstan. As a result we suggest the organization of health care system on the region’s territory based on cluster approach. For carrying out this task we define prioritized locations in the city’s structure, and choose the appropriate profile of cluster after detailed population’s need analyses. Finally we suggest support facilities functionality for each medical cluster. Clusters which demonstrate the integration of different functions such as treatment, education, research, rehabilitation and recreation increase the competitiveness of the region, create the foundation for attracting patients from neighboring areas, and as a result contribute to the development of the medical tourism in region. Medical clusters in the city help to create the «points of growth» of medicine in RT's economy and to improve the quality of the medical services provided for population. |
