Abstract: The health of Russian women has suffered during the economic crisis of recent years. Morbidity and mortality from chronic and infectious diseases has increased. Women's reproductive health has been compromised by an increase in the incidence of sexually transmitted diseases and by lack of access to up-to-date, high quality maternity and family planning services. To address these problems, an interministerial committee of the Russian Federation apponited, in 1993, a Working Group on Maternal and Child Health whose charge it was to review standards of maternity care and family planning.
