It initially reported to the Ministry of Health. By 2004, the Rospotrebnadzor was under the direct oversight of the Government of Russia.

From 2004 until October 2013, it was headed by Gennady Onishchenko. The current head of the Rospotrebnadzor is Anna Popova.

The service currently employs approximately 110,000 professionals in its various bodies and organizations.
