Major changes in health of the population are primarely defined by mather and child health rates. A number of negative trends in mother and child health have occured last years in Russia. Two of each five registered marriages are dissolved. Each year 16% of infants are born out of wedlock, and 600, 000 children lose one of their parents. From 1985 to 1991 birth rates declined 1.6 fold. 34.4% of pregnant women suffered of anemia in 1995. Each year 480, 000 women die globally due to complicated pregnancy and delivery. Maternal mortality in Russia is 52.8 per 100, 000. The number of unhealthy newborns and children grows. That is why a number of Russian federal programms on maternal and child health improvement are being implemented from the year 1990. J Epidemiol, 1996 ; 6 : S29-S34.
