What Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation does

The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation (Министерство здравоохранения Российской Федерации, commonly Минздрав России) is the federal executive body responsible for developing and implementing state policy and legal regulation in the field of healthcare across the Russian Federation. Headquartered in Moscow at Rakhmanovsky pereulok, 3/25, the Ministry reports to the Government of the Russian Federation and is led by Minister Mikhail Murashko. It serves the entire Russian population under state-guaranteed medical care, oversees 1.4+ million medical and pharmaceutical workers, coordinates with 85+ regional health authorities, and directly manages subordinate federal medical institutions including research centers and universities.

The Ministry operates an integrated portfolio of 12+ federal information systems, with the Единая государственная информационная система в сфере здравоохранения (ЕГИСЗ / Unified State Information System in Healthcare) as the central platform. Specialized subsystems include the State Register of Medicinal Products (56,699 registered entries with maximum retail prices), the State Register of Maximum Selling Prices, the State Register of the Resort Fund, the Automated Information System for Medical Standards Development with the electronic clinical recommendations classifier, the State Information System for Biological Safety, the Personnel and Medical Staff Management System, the Financial Management System, the Document Management System, and the Information-Analytical Activity Support System. These systems collectively support drug registration and pricing, telemedicine, medical workforce accreditation, clinical recommendations, federal healthcare monitoring, and state electronic services via the Gosuslugi portal.

The Ministry does not operate on a commercial revenue model and is funded through the federal budget of the Russian Federation. Healthcare services under state guarantees are provided free of charge to citizens. Operational priorities are anchored to three national projects — "Long and Active Life" (Продолжительная и активная жизнь), "New Health Preservation Technologies" (Новые технологии сбережения здоровья), and "Family" (Семья). Distribution of services occurs through the Gosuslugi portal, regional healthcare offices, subordinate federal medical institutions, and the official website minzdrav.gov.ru, which processes more than 1.4 million citizen inquiries.

Core offering

The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation is the federal executive body responsible for developing and implementing state policy and legal regulation in the field of healthcare. It maintains a portfolio of interconnected federal information systems (including the Unified State Information System in Healthcare / ЕГИСЗ), operates national registers of medicinal products, medical organizations, and medical/pharmaceutical workers, and coordinates free state-guaranteed medical care across the Russian Federation.

Product overview

The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation operates a comprehensive portfolio of interconnected healthcare information systems. The core platform is ЕГИСЗ (Unified State Information System in Healthcare), which serves as the central infrastructure for management decisions, federal registries, medical documentation, telemedicine, and citizen e-services. Built upon this platform are specialized subsystems including the State Register of Medicines (rlp.minzdrav.gov.ru) for pharmaceutical product registration, the State Register of Maximum Selling Prices (pots.minzdrav.gov.ru) for drug pricing, the Automated Information System for Medical Standards Development with its electronic clinical recommendations classifier, the State Register of Resort Fund for spa and rehabilitation facilities, and the State Biological Safety Information System. Additional administrative subsystems manage documents, personnel, finances, and analytical reporting. The Ministry also maintains the official public website (minzdrav.gov.ru) and the ЕГИСЗ portal (portal.egisz.rosminzdrav.ru) for stakeholder and citizen access. All systems operate as Russian federal government IT infrastructure rather than commercial products.
