Objective. To trace the history of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance Service of the Federal Penitentiary System of Russia in the context of the reformation and transformation of the system itself.
Materials and methods. Russian publications on the development of the Medical and Sanitary Service of the Federal Penitentiary System of Russia were studied.
Results. The paper presents a generalized material on the genesis of the sanitary service in the penitentiary system from pre-revolutionary Russia to the modern period.
Conclusion. The development of the sanitary and epidemiological service of the Russian penitentiary system is closely linked to the political situation in the country at all times and to the reformation of the penitentiary system as a whole. The foundations of its activities were laid by the GULAG sanitary service. The service has been receiving the legislatively enshrined status of an independent part in the country’s state sanitary and epidemiological surveillance system only since 2001. For a short period of service, certain successes have been achieved, and positive trends in its further development have emerged.
