Komi Republic Launches Bold 2030 Health Plan to Fight Poor Nutrition Crisis
The Ministry of Health of the Komi Republic has drafted a long-term health programme aimed at improving public well-being by 2030. Titled Strengthening Public Health in the Komi Republic, the plan addresses growing concerns over poor nutrition and rising chronic diseases in the region. Officials highlight worsening dietary habits as a key factor behind health decline among residents.
Diets in the Komi Republic have deteriorated significantly in recent years. Residents consume fewer essential nutrients, with deficiencies reported across all food groups, vitamins, and micronutrients. High-lipid and carbohydrate-heavy foods now replace protein-rich options, particularly affecting children and low-income families.
The new health programme aims to tackle these issues through targeted interventions. Balanced nutrition is seen as vital for improving endurance, performance, and overall health across the republic. Without changes, current trends threaten to deepen the region’s health crisis over the next decade.
