Vernadsky Russian State University of National Economy” of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia, 143900, Balashikha, Russia170820243242604202526042025Copyright © 2025,2025<p>The article presents analysis of results of study of health status of students of National Universities and managerial competencies of heads of health authorities in subjects of the Russian Federation. This combination was chosen not by chance but intentionally to align with Vernadsky University's primary mission of training managerial personnel and modern rural leaders. It was essential to monitor relationship between student health and programs designed to maintain it during education, as well as perspectives of graduates already practicing as professionals.<br />The conclusion was made that there is necessity to establish independent policy within programs and development strategies of universities conditionally named as health-preserving policy. The measures targeting to preserve and enhance student health during education process are formal and secondary, often neglecting mental health issues. Besides, these measures are not extended to other subjects of educational process, such as lecturers and administration management personnel. This oversight corresponds to tangible menace to sustainable development of higher school in contemporary conditions.</p>health preservationuniversity policiesstudent healthздоровьесбережениеполитики вузовстуденческое здоровье1.Lushnikova O.
