A risk-based model of control and surveillance activities in the implementation of the federal state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance in the Armed Forces

Information is given on the stages of development and the current state of state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Actual aspects of the control and surveillance activities of the centers of the state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance of the Ministry of Defense are highlighted, the need for a transition to its risk-based model is shown. A list of activities whose implementation is necessary for such a transition is presented. The proposed model requires testing in one or two military districts to obtain evidence of improving the quality of surveillance activities and reducing the incidence of infectious and mass noncommunicable diseases (poisonings) among the personnel of the RF Armed Forces. It is assumed that the introduction of a risk-based model will provide optimal efficiency in the use of labor, material and financial resources involved in the implementation of state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance, reduce costs and increase the effectiveness of the centers of state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance of the Ministry of Defense.
