In Russia, the state wants to impose on all hands, in principle, this is normal, but the development of the project can greatly suffer
Yes, that's a problem for Russian digital health in general. We did a market analysis on that last year: A Quick Guide to E-Health in Russia

However, overly strict regulation is something with which the government of any country only disadvantages the startups in the country itself - the same ones that they should be supporting. There is more than enough competition outside of any country's borders - for example, an increasing number of UK-based telemedicine services are marketing themselves globally.

And this, in turn, is a disadvantage for patients who can't afford to pay out of pocket for these services, and who have to rely on healthcare provided by the state or statutory health insurance.
