Resumen
Descripción
Across Russia, the deep socio-economic
crisis of the 1990s and early 2000s provided fertile ground
for the spread of Tuberculosis (TB). Indeed, as noted,
'people who were already living very precariously saw
their real incomes drop by 25 percent to 30 percent at a
time when government spending was also falling.' As a
result, social and health conditions deteriorated, and TB
spread rapidly. Russia also had one of the highest rates of
imprisonment in the world that, coupled with adverse
conditions in prisons, increased the risk of TB, HIV and
other infectious diseases among prisoners. The Project was
designed in accordance with the federal targeted social
disease prevention and control program (2002-2006). About 80
percent of project funds were allocated for TB control with
the goal of contributing to a leveling-off or reduction in
morbidity, mortality and transmission of TB. The project
covered 79 of the 83 regions across the vast Russian
territory - from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean,
strengthening both the civilian and prison health systems.
