The Russian Health Care Foundation was established pursuant to Decree of the RF Government of October 31, 1996 No. 1295 to carry out the implementation of the World Bank (IBRD) projects.

The Project includes three components and is carried out at two levels - federal and regional (in Voronezh oblast and Chuvash Republic). Necessary legislative and regulatory documents, guidelines and recommendations are developed at the federal level, and their practical implementation takes place at the regional level, based on the results of which appropriate corrections are made of the federal-level documents. The approaches tested in the pilot regions are further on implemented in the other regions of Russia

It has the following objectives: (i) to facilitate control over the epidemic spread of TB and AIDS for a short-term outlook and (ii) to stabilize and reduce these epidemic diseases' levels - for a medium-term outlook.

The TB component provides for the establishment of a basis for TB high-quality diagnostics, treatment and epidemiological monitoring. It will cover at least 50% of civilian population and 100% of populations in penitentiary institutions. It is planned to additionally provide for about 3000 diagnostic laboratories of different levels. The AIDS component provides for the supply of laboratory and medical equipment to the federal and regional HIV/AIDS services (90 laboratories in the civilian sector and 10 laboratories of the penitentiary system of Russia) and STI services (20 centers). It is planned to improve epidemiological surveillance and monitoring, conduct campaigns on HIV/AIDS and STI prevention for communities and high-risk groups of population, and to provide material and technical support for 6 or 7 blood transfusion stations, to strengthen two federal consulting and diagnostic center for HIV-exposed children, including medical equipment and drugs for pregnant HIV-exposed women (2500) and newborn children (150).
