UN Health Definition
WHO (1946)
Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
Determinants of Health, WHO(2003)● Social gradients● Stress (including stress in the workplace)● Early childhood development● Social exclusion● Unemployment● Social support networks● Addiction● Availability of healthy food● Availability of healthy transportation
Health Care
● Personal● Familial● Social● State/Gov-t > MoH
The United Nations in April released some of the results of what is thought to be its largest global survey ever, part of a worldwide initiative called MyWorld2015.
People from all around the world were asked which six factors, out of 16 possibilities, would improve their lives and those of their families.

The UN definition is hardly operational,most widely used health metric
is life expectancy at birth
despite it is a measure of mortality

Addiction
Two slides from Prof. V. Vlassov, head of Russian section of Cochrane Collaboration, presentation at Gorbachev Foundation
Cochrane Collaboration (cochrane.org) – is a global independent network of health practitioners, researchers, patient advocates and others, responding to the challenge of making the vast amounts of evidence generated through research useful for informing decisions about health.

Despite no visible progress in survival and health Russia has pretty well system of health and demographic observations.
But it has some tricks.
HIV prevalence
Number of persons with positive immune blot test for HIV antibodies:
2010 2011 2012
persons 503 724 564 710 613 243
per 100 000 352,6 395,0 428,2
Prevalence is the proportion of a population found to have a condition, typically a disease or a risk factor such as smoking or seat-belt use.
Different states have different priorities
Finally, in not only my opinion:
● Unlike health itself health care system in Russia degrades
● It needs reform● Reform is hardly likely within current
framework● The are some positive signs at an
individual level
