A week aimed at reducing mortality from external causes

From 06/29/2026 to 07/05/2026, the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation announced a "Week aimed at reducing mortality from external causes." The topic is significant and important. The sanatorium "Krasivo" joins the campaign. The purpose of the Week's events is to raise public awareness. Mortality from external causes is of particular concern to society, since in most cases these causes are eliminated.  In this class of causes of death, there are several groups of external causes of death:

• accidental alcohol poisoning.;

• from all types of transport accidents;

• from suicides;

• from murders;

• from damage with uncertain intentions;

• from accidental falls;

• accidental drownings;

• accidental accidents caused by exposure to smoke, fire and flame.

It is necessary to pay attention to the topics of safe behavior on the water, when lighting an open fire and when engaging in active sports. It is necessary to convey to parents the importance of preventing childhood injuries and accidents. Most often, deaths from external causes occur due to unjustified risk and disregard for safety regulations. We recommend that you take a more reasonable attitude towards your health and your life. Life is priceless – take care of it! We wish you good health!
