Abstract
Introduction. Management of public health requires a preliminary assessment of its current state and trends. The system of sustainable development goals offers a universal tool for evaluation of the progress in public health as a set of indicators, which characterize the fulfillment of specific objectives of the third goal (SDG 3). Using of this tool is particularly relevant for assessing the situation in 2020 that can be marked as the “era” of COVID-19. Objective. To assess the status and trends of public health in Moscow according to a number of key indicators of SDG 3 to characterize changes that occurred in 2020 during COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and methods. The main method was the analysis of data taken from open sources of the Federal State Statistics Service of the Russian Federation. Results. The key indicators, used as the criteria for assessing the achievement of SDG 3, at Moscow level have been analyzed. In 2020 compared with 2019, the following positive trends are noted: mortality of newborns and young children, acute viral hepatitis B morbidity, mortality from malignant neoplasms, suicides and road traffic injuries decreased. The negative dynamics are associated with a slight increase in mortality from circulatory and respiratory diseases. Conclusion. The COVID-19 pandemic has taken its toll on Moscow's public health. However, positive trends in many of the SDG 3 indicators demonstrate the city's strong position and potential to achieve “good health and well-being”.
