[Health status of workers in the city of Moscow and ways of its improvement].
The article shows that negative tendencies in occupational health in Moscow are more marked than in other regions and traced mostly to worse socioeconomic situation, drastic decrease in living standards and quality of life, unsatisfactory medical care, abandoned priority of health care for industrial workers, neglected occupational prophylaxis. Obligatory precursors for better occupational health should include policy aimed to improve quality of life and working environment, to provide availability and high quality of medical care (including industrial medical service). That policy should be a part of longstanding programs for health preservation, that is guaranteed by Russian Constitution and Laws on health care and industrial regulations. Better public health is not a function of Health Ministry solely.
