Russia
Healthy Russia 2020 is a new initiative designed to improve the health of Russian families through the creation of a membership association that unites and amplifies the efforts of all organizations interested in health. This membership association will be made up of members drawn from the private sector, business community, professional associations, medical institutions, mass media outlets, NGOs, and individuals. The association members and the NGO staff will design and implement health communication and advocacy activities addressing HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis, maternal and child health, and adolescent health with the goal of bringing Russian health indicators to West European levels. To reach this goal, Healthy Russia 2020 will innovate a multi-functional web portal designed to be an interactive forum for members and anyone interested in health, including medical and research information for health providers, on-line behavior change activities for adolescents, and distance learning opportunities for member organizations. Through its membership, staff, web portal, and health communication and advocacy initiatives, Healthy Russia 2020 will strive to reach the goal of a healthier Russia by 2020.
