Academician Alexander Chuchalin conclusions are based on a comparison of official data on the incidence of pneumonia, with estimates of the World Health Organization (WHO), wrote medportal.ru
"According to official statistics, in RF in the year recorded 300-400 thousand cases of pneumonia. And according to the WHO, this figure would be at the level of 1,5-1,7 million.
Chief physician of the Russian Federation has also expressed doubts about the adequacy of official data on the broncho-pulmonary diseases in general.
"Judging from the referral to medical facilities, we have less than 1 million cases of broncho-pulmonary disease.
In reality these patients 4-5 million, "- he said. Particularly bad, says Chuchalin, is statistics on the incidence of bronchial asthma.
Another problem, according to Chuchalin is late and unreliable diagnosis of lung cancer.
In a year in Russia revealed 80-90 thousand cases of this disease, and very often diagnosed at a later stage, when the tumor is inoperable.
