Abstract
Based on three qualitative empirical studies, this article describes the organisation of public health in the Russian Federation and analyses the problems of intersectoral co-ordination and collaboration within this organisation. The analysis is focusing on the relations between the health sector and the social insurance system, which are not so well known outside the country. The results of this analysis show a fragmented organisation with a serious lack of co-ordination, but also a limited collaboration between the different sectors involved in public health. On the basis of these results, there is a discussion of how intersectoral collaboration could be improved in the Russian organisation of public health.
