The '''Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare'''<ref>{{Cite web |title=Federal Service for the Oversight of Consumer Protection and Welfare of the Russian Federation - The Russian Government |url=http://government.ru/en/department/248/events/ |access-date=2024-03-26 |website=government.ru}}</ref> ({{langx|ru|Федеральная служба по надзору в сфере защиты прав потребителей и благополучия человека}}; also '''Rospotrebnadzor'''; {{langx|ru|Роспотребнадзор|link=no}}) is the federal service responsible for the supervision of [[consumer rights]] protection and human wellbeing in Russia. This service was founded in 2004, and was included in the structure of the [[Ministry of Health (Russia)|Ministry of Health Care]] of Russia until 2012. In May 2012 Rospotrebnadzor was removed from the supervision of the Ministry of Health and now reports directly to the Russian Government. It functions on the authority of the Act of Federal Service on the base of the Administrative Regulation.
==History==
Medical and sanitary work in Russia originated at the beginning of the 19th century and was subordinated to the Medical Department of the [[Ministry of Police of the Russian Empire|Ministry of Police]].<ref>[https://tass.ru/spravochnaya-informaciya/695181 ДОСЬЕ: История санитарно-эпидемиологической службы]</ref>
The organization's history goes back to the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR "On the Sanitary Authorities of the Republic" dated 15 September 1922.<ref>[https://www.rospotrebnadzor.ru/region/history/historydoc/decret.php ДЕКРЕТ от 15 сентября 1922 года "О САНИТАРНЫХ ОРГАНАХ РЕСПУБЛИКИ"]</ref>
As of 2004, 2,218 separate sanitary-epidemiological stations (centers) were open in Russia.<ref>[https://tumentoday.ru/2012/09/14/охраняя-здоровье-населения/ Охраняя здоровье населения]</ref>

From 2004 until October 2013, it was headed by [[Gennady Onishchenko]]. The current head of the Rospotrebnadzor is [[Anna Popova]].<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-24651955 Russia's controversial health chief Onishchenko departs]</ref>
