The Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare[1] (Russian: Федеральная служба по надзору в сфере защиты прав потребителей и благополучия человека; also Rospotrebnadzor; Russian: Роспотребнадзор) is the federal service responsible for the supervision of consumer rights protection and human wellbeing in Russia. This service was founded in 2004, and was included in the structure of the Ministry of Health Care of Russia until 2012. In May 2012 Rospotrebnadzor was removed from the supervision of the Ministry of Health and now reports directly to the Russian Government. It functions on the authority of the Act of Federal Service on the base of the Administrative Regulation.
History
[edit]Medical and sanitary work in Russia originated at the beginning of the 19th century and was subordinated to the Medical Department of the Ministry of Police[2].
The organization's history goes back to the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR "On the Sanitary Authorities of the Republic" dated 15 September 1922[3].
As of 2004, 2,218 separate sanitary-epidemiological stations (centers) were open in Russia[4].
It initially reported to the Ministry of Health. By 2004, the Rospotrebnadzor was under the direct oversight of the Government of Russia[5].
From 2004 until October 2013, it was headed by Gennady Onishchenko. The current head of the Rospotrebnadzor is Anna Popova[6].
The service currently employs approximately 110,000 professionals in its various bodies and organizations[7].
Leadership
[edit]The organization is headed by the chief sanitary doctor of Russia.
