What happened

The economic damage from infectious diseases in Russia in 2025 amounted to 1,341.7 bln rubles ($18.2 bln), according to data from the Russian Federal Service for Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare (Rospotrebnadzor) seen by TASS.

Why it matters

"In 2025, the economic damage from 30 infectious diseases (nosological groups) only amounted to about 1,341.7 bln rubles," the regulator said.

Common ground

Treatment of acute upper respiratory tract infections of multiple and unspecified localization required the largest amount of investments - almost 1,167 bln rubles ($15.8 bln), followed by chickenpox and acute intestinal infections.
