5.13.1 Parallel health systems 
As mentioned above, parallel health services exist for employees and officials 
of certain organizations, enterprises, and ministries, including the Cabinet 
of Ministers, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Security Services, 
the Ministry of Defence, the Railway Administration, the Civil Aviation 
Administration and the National Air Company. The Union of Writers and 
Artists also operates its own comprehensive network of health services, and 
about 75 large industrial enterprises have their own health departments. All 
such parallel health services come under the jurisdiction and supervision of 
the Ministry of Health. Management and resource allocation, however, are 
the responsibility of the health care institutions and the organization to which 
they belong.
