The study is aimed at assessing the satisfaction of the rural population in the Chuvash Republic with the quality and availability of primary health care. The objectives of the work are to assess the level of satisfaction with medical care, identify key problems in obtaining medical care and determine the correlation between the availability of services and patient satisfaction. To achieve the objectives, a sociological survey of the population was conducted using the interview method in the municipal districts of Chuvashia. The sample was formed taking into account the age and gender structure, and the population size of each district. The study assessed the following indicators: quality and availability of primary health care at the place of residence and in republican medical centers, staff sufficiency, as well as the main difficulties that patients face when receiving care. In addition, a correlation analysis was performed between the indicators of medical care accessibility and satisfaction level. According to the study findings, most respondents assess the quality of medical care as satisfactory, but almost everywhere there is a shortage of specialists. The key problems are the shortage of medical personnel in rural areas, difficulties with making appointments, and an indifferent and negligent attitude to the treatment of diseases.
