Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed an order approving the Concept for the Development of First Aid through 2036. Its goal is to create conditions for large-scale public training in first aid skills and the practical application of these acquired skills to save lives.
The first stage of the concept implementation is planned from June 1, 2026 to 2027. The second and third stages are for 2028–2030 and 2031–2036, respectively.
Education will be a key focus of the concept's implementation. This includes developing and approving recommendations for educational programs on first aid, developing the infrastructure of organizations that provide first aid training, and ensuring the accessibility of such training. Furthermore, it is proposed to hold thematic competitions for schoolchildren and students, provide training and retraining for employees required to provide first aid by law, and provide training and regular professional development for teachers in kindergartens, schools, colleges, and universities.
Another focus will be information and educational activities. These include generating public interest in various aspects of the organization and delivery of first aid through public service announcements and other information channels, creating relevant information and educational content, ensuring citizen awareness of the importance of first aid for preserving lives and promoting knowledge, skills, and abilities in providing it, and engaging participants in implementing the concept with various audiences, including experts, researchers, practitioners, and manufacturers of medicines and medical devices.
The concept's implementation will involve a wide range of participants—educational, public, non-profit, and scientific organizations, public associations, employer associations, the expert community, and active citizens—and ensure their interaction with government agencies on matters of first aid development.
Cooperation between business and the government is also expected to develop on these issues. This includes supporting initiatives to develop and implement programs aimed at increasing first aid literacy through internal corporate education, establishing permanent first aid education centers, and engaging businesses in volunteer activities related to first aid.
An action plan for implementing the concept will be developed by the Ministry of Health and submitted to the Government within the next six months.
