Contact the clinic registry with a passport and medical policy. Ask for a duplicate of the pages you need or the entire medical record. In most institutions, this service is provided free of charge and without any problems.

Write a statement addressed to the head physician of the medical institution. Describe in it in detail the reasons why you need to have a medical card on hand. According to the letter of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation "On the procedure for storing outpatient cards" dated April 4, 2005, this document can be handed to you only if the chief doctor of the medical institution gives permission to do so.

If you pick up a medical card because you are moving to another city and are detaching from this clinic, then also write a statement addressed to the head physician, the form of which can be obtained from the registry or the hospital’s office. Indicate the reason for your "detachment" change of residence.

But if you have good reason for requiring a card to be handed over, resolve this issue through the head physician.
