The state and prospects of TB control service in Russia during the COVID-19 pandemic by O. B. Nechaeva

“…Conversely, in regions with a high level of tuberculosis infection in the population, the number of coronavirus cases is significantly lower.In Russia, in the near future COVID-19 will not contribute to the increase in incidence and mortality of tuberculosis and HIV infection. The negative effects of the pandemic are partially offset by a sharp reduction in contacts, an increase in lung computed tomography, regular supply of anti-tuberculosis and antiretroviral drugs purchased by the state budgets of different levels, improved patients’ adherence to treatment, and the expansion of hospital-replacing technologies in specialized medical organizations.Facilities, resources and personnel of medical TB control services make it possible to expand their functions to fulfill the goals and objectives of the RF Healthcare Development Strategy for the period up to 2025 for socially significant infectious diseases that pose a biological threat to the population (tuberculosis, HIV infections, and parenteral viral hepatitis).…”
