Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova took part in an extended meeting of the board of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency.
As Tatyana Golikova noted, the board meeting is being held on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. Soviet medicine made a special contribution to the victory. The medical service saved the wounded, provided their treatment, rehabilitation and return to duty. The key role in the fight for life at the front belonged to the blood transfusion service and donation. Over the past 15 years, the Federal Medical and Biological Agency has been responsible for organizing the activities of the blood service in our country.
In just four years of war, over 7 million blood transfusions were performed. Every day, 300 to 3 thousand people donated blood, mostly women. The active army received over 1.7 million liters of blood. The total number of donors was 5.5 million people.
“Today, the database, which has been maintained since 2008, contains data on more than 10 million blood donors and 30 million donations. The annual number of blood and blood component donors remains stable at almost 1.5 million people, with 99% of donations being gratuitous,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
In 2024, a program to modernize blood services in new regions was launched; more than 200 units of equipment, including high-tech equipment, were purchased.
“Since 2023, on the instructions of the President of the country, the Concept of increasing the procurement of blood plasma for the production of drugs has been implemented. In 2024, the FMBA successfully completed the first stage – 600 tons of plasma were prepared. In 2025, the volume should be at least 780 tons. The task is not easy, but strategically important for the country,” said Tatyana Golikova.
The Deputy Prime Minister separately noted the development of bone marrow donation.
“The number of donors in the Federal Bone Marrow Donor Registry increased by 120,000 last year, reaching 438,000 donors. By the end of 2025, the registry should include more than 500,000 donors. The appropriate funding has been allocated to replenish the registry and conduct bone marrow donor typing, the amount of which is 7 times higher than in 2023. I am confident that this will increase the number of studies. More than 67,000 typings should be performed this year. These figures represent saved lives,” she said.
In the conditions of military actions on the territory of the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions, Kursk region, medical workers of the FMBA take direct part in providing medical care to wounded soldiers and civilians, ensure radiation, chemical and biological safety. In Mariupol, there is a multidisciplinary medical center of the FMBA. The second stage of construction is currently underway.
“The implementation of the national project “Healthcare” was completed in 2024. FMBA allocated more than 9.3 billion rubles for the implementation of its activities. As a result, high-quality infrastructure changes took place in the agency’s system. As part of the modernization of the primary link, 77 facilities were commissioned, 931 units of equipment and 127 vehicles were delivered. As part of the fight against cancer, 12 medical organizations were equipped with 292 units of equipment, including 23 units of heavy equipment. Behind each figure is both the availability and quality of medical care, especially in those settlements where only FMBA institutions are present,” said Tatyana Golikova.
Since 2025, new national projects have been launched: “Long and Active Life”, “Family”, “New Health Preservation Technologies”, in the implementation of which the FMBA of Russia also takes an active part.
“By 2030, within the framework of the national project “Long and Active Life”, 148 more primary care facilities will be created and renovated in the FMBA system, more than 2.6 thousand pieces of equipment and 138 vehicles will be purchased. In addition, 16 modern admissions departments using modular designs will be created, oncology centers and federal research centers will be equipped with the necessary equipment. Within the framework of the federal project “Protection of Motherhood and Childhood” of the national project “Family”, 25 women’s consultations, perinatal centers, children’s hospitals will be created and equipped with new equipment. All these measures will improve the quality and accessibility of medical care for our citizens, which is especially important for closed territorial entities, where the agency’s institutions are the only ones,” noted Tatyana Golikova.
Within the framework of the national project “New technologies for preserving health”, it is planned to increase the share of domestic production of drugs in terms of vital and essential drugs to 90% and in terms of medical products to 40%. Almost 1 billion rubles have been allocated by the FMBA for 6 years to implement the set task.
“Another task of the agency is to preserve the life and health of people working in extreme conditions and in industries with harmful and hazardous health factors. Today, the FMBA system has a network of 38 comprehensive health centers and digital health centers created over 3 years, located directly at strategic production facilities. This made it possible to reduce the incidence rate by 17% and reduce cases of temporary disability by 23% in 2024,” the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
In conclusion, Tatyana Golikova thanked all employees of the FMBA and its subordinate institutions for their dedicated work.
