Infectious disease outbreakes in Russia by region

Question

Are there sources where I can find information about infectious disease (say, plague, hepatitis, polio) outbreakes in modern Russia? Typically, a disease outbreak is followed by a warning issued by public health regulators: are those kind of data archived and tallied? I'd prefer to have the data grouped by regions. A go-to resource at FSSS lists surprizingly little about public health.

Answer 1

There are many global infectious decease outbreaks databases.
For example, Gideon (15-day free trial) provides data of this kind:

There are also many sources of statistical information from Russian federal authorities (or their territorial bodies):

• Rosstat statistics (see my comment above);

• Minzdrav annual reports (an example);

• Rospotrebnadzor annual reports (an example).

Unfortunately, all these sources are rather unsuitable for your needs.
