Russia will avoid a shortage of medicines for tuberculosis
In Russia for the treatment of tuberculosis
Russia does not face problems with a shortage of medicines for tuberculosis. The country has its own technologies, it is difficult to treat it successfully, said Irina Vasilyeva, chief phthisiatrician of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. According to the data, since 2015, the number of cases of tuberculosis has increased by 30%, and the death rate from this disease has fallen 42%.
Down course
High top levels have become long-term and persistent for the health of the system, which has been carried out since the beginning of the 21st century, when Russia had a peak incidence of tuberculosis. It was in the 2000s that the country began reforming the anti-tuberculosis service to identify approaches to identifying and identifying serious diseases.
“The collapse of the USSR was the impetus for an increase in the incidence of tuberculosis. After that, the decline began. We have reached a historic low. We have an anti-tuberculosis service in which work is clearly organized, including interaction with the general medical network. And the main plus is that we continue to work in this mode in any conditions,” said Irina Vasilyeva.

For several years, work on the diagnosis of tuberculosis has been revised. At this point, TB testing coverage in Russia makes it possible to detect up to 92% of new cases of the disease, as well as 94% of cases. In the world, these figures are 69% and 87%, respectively.
During the observation of increased attention is an integrated approach. According to Vasilyeva, at the moment Russia uses alternative technologies, exclusive priorities from export. Based on the results of many years of work, the World Organization for Revision of the Lists of Countries with a High Burden of Tuberculosis excluded Russia from this list.
“We are ahead in the world in introducing new technologies. Despite the fact that the world has its own developments, but in many respects our developments are superior to foreign counterparts. Thanks to this, high results were achieved. But our goals have not yet been achieved,” Irina Vasilyeva.
Children are an indicator
The problem of childhood tuberculosis in Russia is rare with the older generation. Now in the world more than one million children a year fall ill with tuberculosis, about 233 thousand die from diseases. Therefore, in Russia, disease prevention has been a priority for many years.
At the moment in Russia there is a clear algorithm for exclusion among children. Try to vaccinate them. Then relatives and doctors make sure that the child does not get sick with the disease. However, if this happens, everything is already being done so that the disease does not begin to be transported.
“Russia is among the leaders in the detection and detection of tuberculosis in children. We have intradermal screening methods for detecting diseases that occur in Russia. Children, subjects that they are contraindicated, apply laboratory tests. This means that the incidence of children remains at a low level for many years. All committees are regulated by the normative documents of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, ”- Valentina Aksenova, Chief Children’s Phthisiologist of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.

There are several reasons for the problems of tuberculosis treatment. One of them is the poor material and technical base of most children’s sanatorium and health institutions in the country.
“When there was social well-being in the country, the children did not get sick. The last 10-15 years, the incidence in children in Russia. It is very dangerous that children may react again and the numbers will rise again. At the same time, teenagers are also at risk,” said Valentina Aksenova.
The situation in the regions
According to preliminary data from the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, in 2021 there will be 31.1 cases of tuberculosis per 100,000 people. low incidence rates in Belgorod, Ryazan and Vologda speeds. There, the number of cases is 11.8, 12.0 and 12.2, respectively. At the same time, the burden of tuberculosis is developing in the Ural and Siberian federal districts and in the Far East.
“The Far Eastern District is 40% of the territory of the Russian Federation. But the last five years have been steadily improving the epidemiological situation and improving performance. Within such a vast territory today there are territories where all-Russian indicators have been achieved. And at the same time, in a territory with a high morbidity,” Pavel Fadeev, chief phthisiatrician of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation for the Far Eastern Federal District, said during a press conference.
As noted by Elena Virina, Deputy Chief Physician of Outpatient Medical Assistance at the Regional TB Vaccine Dispensary of the Astrakhan Region, in medicine, mortality from tuberculosis has significantly decreased in 2021. The incidence trend is also observed in the Federal Penitentiary Service. According to Konstantin Masnikov, Acting Head of the Department of Organization of the Medical and Sanitary Department of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, in 2021 alone, the level of tuberculosis patients fell ill from 36,000 to 9,000.
