Russia's public health crisis worsens in 2025

Russia's public health system is facing a severe crisis, with 2025 marking the country's worst health indicators in nearly a decade. Alcoholism, alcoholic psychosis, and psychiatric disorders have all surged to alarming new peaks, with the rate reaching 56.9 cases per 100,000 population. The data suggests a significant deterioration in public health outcomes across multiple categories, indicating systemic challenges in healthcare delivery and social services. This decline comes amid ongoing economic pressures and military mobilization that have strained Russian society.
