Russia has recorded an anti-record for HIV and hepatitis infections in hospitals. What's happening?
In Russia in 2025, a record number of outbreaks of HIV and viral hepatitis infection in medical institutions was recorded over the past 15 years. More than 100 people were injured, while doctors bear almost no responsibility for violations. Alarming news is not a reason to refuse examinations and treatment, but it is important for patients to follow basic safety rules, experts say.
