This study presents analysis of the international and Russian experience of implementation of “health in all policies” approach into legislation, as well as of health impact assessment. Certain steps towards the implementation of this approach have already been made in Russia, however, in general, there is still a lot to be done. It was revealed that the current system regulatory impact assessment (RIA) in Russia has a narrow focus and is focused on protecting the interests of business, which does not correspond to the well-established world practice, which presupposes complex RIA, including the impact of regulation on public health. Recommendations for strengthening the principle of “health by all policies” in Russian legislation and the introduction of the practice of assessing the regulatory impact on public health in Russia are presented.
