U.S.-run health clinic in Moscow

[George Fowler h(317)726-1482 o(812)855-2829]

My local paper (the Indianapolis Star) ran the following tiny piece in this
morning's Travel section. This information may be of interest to those who go
to Moscow for language study, research, etc.; I pass it along without
endorsement. The address looks fishy, but interpretable; alas, no phone number
was given.

PRIVATE CLINIC IN MOSCOW IS OPEN TO TOURISTS

A new private clinic has opened in Moscow to serve travelers as well as
residents. The service is provided by U.S. Global Health, a members-only joint
venture of Columbia-Presbyterian Health Services; the Fund for Large
Enterprises in Russian, a private investment company; and Pepsico World
Trading, which helps develop businesses for its parent company, Pepsico.

Four American-trained, board-certified doctors and their assistants prescribe
medications and provide diagnostic outpatient services and lab work. Doctors
are on 24-hour call and in emergencies will make house calls, according to
Sherrie Dulworth, Global's director of sales and marketing.

A 10-day "tourist" membership is $39, with separate charges for medical
services, which are comparable to those charged in the United States. Global
honors most major American insurance policies. U.S. Global Health is at Fourth
Dobryninsky Lane. [sic; maybe something like Dobryninskij pereulok, 4?? I
don't know Moscow well enough to judge this--gf]
