The State Duma predicted a population decline of 600,000 in 2026 Alexey Kirny, a member of the State Duma Committee on Health Protection from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, presented data on the financing of the national health system. According to him, in 2027, federal spending on medicine will decrease by 3%, and funding for the project to fight cancer will immediately decrease 12 times. The sub-minister stated that despite the nominal increase in allocations, the share of health services in the expenditure structure remains unchanged and stands at only 3.6-3.7% of GDP. For comparison: in developed countries this figure reaches 8-10%, and in countries with parallel economies - 5-6%. The gap in funding per capita from Eastern European countries is about 40%. Mortality is influenced by socioeconomic conditions (37%), by lifestyle, including alcohol consumption (33%), and 30% is due to the performance of the health system. Mortality from cardiovascular disease and cancer remains high, and target indicators continue to be updated for worsening. "The demographic situation is one of the main indicators of the state's effectiveness. There are many reasons for today's demographic failure, but today I will focus in detail on the national health system." - Alexey Kirini, Deputy State Duma. According to the parliament's forecast, the decrease in the population in the Russian Federation by the end of 2026 may amount to about 600 thousand people. Reductions in federal allocations for medicine and the actual reduction of the new remuneration system for doctors do not allow overcoming the demographic crisis.
