Over the past years, infant and
maternal mortality trends in the
Russian Federation have been
decreasing. The country also made
good
progress
in
decreasing
tuberculosis mortality.
tuberculosis mortality. Among CRD
cancer, diabetes CVD remains the
leading cause of death. The struggle
against non-contagious diseases and
their risk factors, such as alcohol
consumption and smoking habits,
together with improving road traffic
safety are main public health priorities.
As a result of the government
politics is the national health, which
acts as a measure of life quality. Firstly,
as the most people living far from the
capital are heavily exposed to poorquality medicine, especially related to
cancer, I strongly recommend taking
actions
in
equipment
medical
institutions with modern instruments
and high-quality personnel. Secondly, I
guess we need not to prohibit alcohol
and tobacco because once a dry law in
the USSR led to a rapid increase in
crime. We should raise a little bit the
price of alcohol and cigarettes in order
to people could refuse economically
disadvantageous goods, better, if people
do it on their own free will. Finally, we
must build new roads across all square
of our country and especially control
this in far regions to prevent injuries
and deaths from road accidents.
In conclusion, I would say that
70-80% of the health status of the
population depends on an individual
lifestyle. A person must consciously
take care of his body, and the
government has to help in achieving it.
