The GBCHealth Russia office, located in Moscow, supports member companies in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States and leads advocacy efforts for positive policy change. Through its “Business for a Healthy Society” initiative, the office convenes both national and multinational companies to share best practices, highlight key issues and engage in dialogue with government and NGO leaders. For companies operating in Russia, GBCHealth provides expert advisory services on workplace health programs through its HEALTH@WORK framework.

GBCHealth Russia also conducts mass media campaigns to raise awareness of general population on health issues. Built in the format of Public-Private Partnership, campaigns leverage the capacities of governments, NGOs and companies from different sectors to conduct research, develop campaign, create PSAs, provide air time on TV and press, and support numerous campaigns’ events. The campaigns are supported by very popular informative websites (www.stopspid.ru and www.tbinfo.ru).

GBCHealth Russia is recognized as the key organization working with governmental authorities and legislative assemblies in Russia and abroad, bi- and multilateral agencies, leading experts and NGOs on national and international HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis policies. It collaborates increasingly with Russian officials and international agencies to support deeper engagement of the business community on healthy life style and non-communicable diseases such as diabetes. The GBCHealth Russia team provides online policy resource centers on HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (www.hivpolicy.ru and www.tbpolicy.ru).
