Historical background

The Regional Centre for AIDS Prevention and Control was established at the Sverdlovsk Research Institute of Viral Infections in 1989 under RSFSR Ministry of Health Order No. 119 of 25 July 1989. It served as a consultative and methodological body for research, organisational and clinical work in its assigned region and supported the introduction of HIV prevention, diagnosis and treatment methods. Its remit covered the Bashkir and Udmurt autonomous republics and the Kurgan, Orenburg, Perm, Sverdlovsk and Chelyabinsk oblasts.

A nationwide reorganisation in 1994 changed the responsibilities of AIDS prevention and control centres (Ministry of Health and Medical Industry Order No. 170 of 16 August 1994). Regional centres assumed responsibility for follow-up and clinical care of people living with HIV. The centre at the Yekaterinburg Research Institute retained its coordinating role, collected and analysed regional HIV data and conducted diagnostic investigations. In 1995, the remit of the regional centres expanded further (Order No. 100 of 18 April 1995). Their new laboratories took on much of the HIV screening and diagnostic workload, while computerised reporting improved the flow and analysis of surveillance data and reduced the burden on the Yekaterinburg centre.

In 2000, the centre became the Russian Ministry of Health’s Urals District Centre for AIDS Prevention and Control (Order No. 312 of 7 August 2000). Its remit was limited to the regions of the Ural Federal District. Its principal tasks became epidemiological surveillance, prevention and outbreak control, clinical laboratory diagnosis and treatment of HIV infection, AIDS-related conditions and blood-borne viral hepatitis, together with participation in regional programme development.

In 2005, the Institute was transferred to Rospotrebnadzor (Government Decree No. 32-r of 17 January 2005). The Urals District Centre consequently ceased to perform some functions relating to the organisation of regional AIDS centres, although it remained jointly administered until 2018 (Ministry of Health Order No. 409 of 3 July 2018).

Overview

The centre, founded at the Institute in August 1989, coordinates six regional HIV/AIDS centres in the Ural Federal District. Its remit covers Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, Tyumen and Kurgan oblasts, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug.

The centre operates in accordance with Federal Law No. 52-FZ of 30 March 1999 on sanitary and epidemiological welfare, Federal Law No. 323-FZ of 21 November 2011 on the fundamentals of public health protection, and SanPiN 3.3686-21 on sanitary and epidemiological requirements for preventing infectious diseases.

The centre is governed by Russian legislation and acts of the President, Government, Rospotrebnadzor and Ministry of Health, together with the Institute’s statutes, orders of its director, instructions issued by deputy directors, approved work plans and the centre’s own regulations.
