title: [Population health and structural changes in public health system in the Russian Federation in the 1990s].
abstract: The paper analyzes the structural efficiency of the therapeutical and preventive care system and the changes that occurred in the population's health in the Russian Federation in the 1990s. It shows that the reforming processes theoretically elaborated in detail and reflected in "The Concepts of Public Health and Medical Science Development in the Russian Federation" (1997) are slowly under way or almost absent and the structural efficiency of the entire therapeutical and preventive care system remains lower than it has been expected. The paper presents promising lines of structural and functional changes in public health.
