not an exception. I want to tell about medical care in my country. In Russia health
care is free. The basic medical unit in our country is a polyclinic. We
have polyclinics for adult population and for children population . A patient who
is ill can call and invite a doctor for a home visit in a case of
emergency. The emergency ambulance service operates all day and all night and is
free of charge. There are many hospitals in Russia for different
diseases. The ambulances are equipped with a modern equipment. I think that the system of health care in Russia is very good.( лучше сказать quite good, a very good как-то не очень звучит)
