PART 1
Demography
and Health Indices
of Population
in Russian Federation
LIFE EXPECTANCY AT BIRTH (YEARS)
Life expectancy at birth (LEB) has dropped from 70 years in
1985 to 68,7 years in 2009. It is 6,3 years smaller than in “new”
EU countries and 12 years smaller than in “old” EU countries
CRUDE DEATH RATE (PER 1000 PERSONS)
Crude death rate (CDR), the number of deaths of any reason,
increased from 10,5 in 1985 to 14,2 in 2009. It is 1,3- and 1,5 - fold
greater than that in the “new” and “old” EU countries,
correspondingly
CAUSE-SPECIFIC MORTALITY DISTRIBUTION
Major causes of fatal outcome:
Circulation system diseases – 56,5%
Neoplasm – 14,6%
External causes – 11,2% (suicide, traffic accidents, alcohol
poisoning, homicides)
MORBIDITY (PER 100 000 PERSONS)
Morbidity of population has grown by 42% since 1985 from all
diseases. In the last years the circulatory diseases (44,5%) and
malignant neoplasm (17,6%) prevailed in the structure of morbidity
LEADING RISK FACTORS
Tobacco
consumption
The proportion
of daily smokers
among adults
is twice higher than
the average
in OECD countries
Alcohol
consumption
In liters per capita
for adult population
is twice higher than
the average
in OECD countries
DISPARITIES IN HEALTH INDICES

In life
expectancy
Regions

extremes)

Men/women

CONCLUSIONS
The most health care and demography indices in Russia are worse
than those in “new” and “old” EU countries
The persistent elevation of the share of senior people necessitates
the sustainability of medical social service on the long-term care
The predominant role among the factors aggravating health of
population in Russia was played by unhealthy lifestyle:
wide spread of alcoholism
tobacco smoking
drug abuse
poor working conditions
lack of long term government strategy aimed to improve
population health
PART 2
Key healthcare
problems today
STRUCTURE OF PUBLIC HEALTHCARE IN RUSSIA
Funding is based on a mixed budget-insurance model
Organization of medical aid inherited some features of
N.A. Semashko healthcare model
POSITIVE FEATURES:
NEGATIVE FEATURES:
— Totally free
— Extensive type of development
— Budget finance
— Underfinanced
— Vertical integration
— Lack of quality control
— Governmental providers
— Administrative-command style
— Polyclinics
— Lack of high technologies
— Separate pediatric services
— Prophylactic approach
Three administration levels: Federal, Regional, Municipal
Three property forms of medical aid providers involved in SGP (State
Guarantees Program) realization: government (Federal and Regional),
municipal and private
POOR HEALTHCARE FINANCING
As a share of GDP Russia is spending on healthcare twice less
than OECD on average
Total and government spending for healthcare expressed in GDP
share in various countries
POOR HEALTHCARE FINANCING
Per capita government spending in Russia is 635 ($PPP) i.e.
3,4-fold smaller than the average spending in OECD nations
and 1,5 – 2 times smaller than in the EU countries
Total and government per capita spending on the healthcare in various countries
EXPENDITURE ON PHARMACEUTICALS FOR AMBULANT THERAPY
In the relative values (GDP share) the public expenditures on
pharmaceuticals in RF is only 0,23%, while the corresponding
figure in the developed countries is 4-fold greater (0,9%)
INTERDEPENDENCE BETWEEN HEALTHCARE FUNDING AND
POPULATION HEALTH INDICES
To achieve LEB of
73–75 years and
CDR of 11.0–10.0,
the government
per capita
spending on the
healthcare should
be no less than
1100–1200 $PPP
NOT EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT
To attain CDR of 11,0, Local Guarantees Program (LGP) spending
should be doubled to the level of 15 thousand rubles which
corresponds to 1000 $PPP
Dependence of CDR on LGP (per capita) spending
SALARY OF MEDICAL PERSONNEL
The salary of doctors in 2009 was 10% lower than the average wage in RF (16,8
and 18,6, correspondently). At present, the salary of doctors in OECD countries is
higher by 3-5 times than the average wage in corresponding countries

THE REASONS OF POOR PHYSICIANS PERFORMANCE
The reasons of poor performance:
Continuous medical education — only 1 time in 5 years, 15%
doctors even didn’t match this indicator
Educational programs not always up-to-date and taught
without using distant technologies (4 month out of work)
Physicians lack evidence based literature at the point
of care
Physicians don’t have access to electronic support systems
and electronic medical library
NOTE: the products are available on the market
CONCLUSIONS
The basic problems of healthcare in Russia are:
Underfinancing and not equal distribution of healthcare resources
between various regions of RF
Unclear directivity of the healthcare system on the patient’s needs
Insufficient qualification of the medical personnel
Inefficient management in the strategic development of the national
healthcare system
Disproportions in healthcare supply in favor of specialists and hospital
care
Lack of innovations coming from academia
Lack of coordination with Russian pharmaceutical industry and medical
device industry
To solve these problems we need the systemic, targeted, and
coordinated long-term Strategy of National Healthcare - 2020
PART 3
Future demographic,
social and economic
challenges in healthcare
DEMOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES
The medium variant of projection toward 2025
(Federal Agency for Statistics):
If mortality is 15,0 (no change), birth rates will be 9,6 per 1000 population
(decline) and migration will rise by 50%
In 2025:
Total population will decline by 5 mln (from 142 mln to 137 mln);
Working age population will decline by 14 mln, it’s proportion
will diminish from 63% to 55%;
Over working age population will increase by 6 mln and it’s
proportion will rise from 21% to 27%;
Life expectancy will be – 70 years
ECONOMIC CHALLENGES
If LEB of the men is elevated by 5 years to 2020, almost 60% men would reach
the age of 65 years (the minimal retirement age established in all developed
countries), which corresponds to the curve (II). In contrast, the present variant
(I) shows that merely 48,6% men will reach retirement age
EXPECTATIONS OF PLAYERS INVOLVED
Population
Shorter waiting lists
Polite doctors
Lower charges (copayments)

professional growth
Less paper work
Government
Improve population health

Less regulation
More transparency in government decisions
More influence on opinion leaders and physicians
Private providers
Access to public finance
Less regulation
Revenue growth
NATIONAL PRIORITY PROJECT “ZDOROVIE”
830 thousand additional lives of Russian citizens were saved
(0,6% population of RF)

Health promotion and patient education
Materials for healthy people and for all groups of
society: pregnant women, children from 0 to 14,
adolescents, young and middle age, elderly people,
women’s health. The materials were highly evaluated in 7
test regions. 1–1,5% of the regions needs were supplied
“Healthy Living Schools”. Either for those suffering from
non-infectious chronic diseases or for those having risk factors
for their progression.
2007-2008: the information materials on healthy lifestyle, delivered by ASMOK,
were expanded within the framework of the political project “Zdorovoye
serdtse” (Healthy heart) under guidance of the Chairman of the Supreme Council
of the party “Edinaya Rossiya” (United Russia) Boris Grizlov. This project was
highly evaluated all over Russia.
