The FMBA was known previously as Federal Directorate for Biomedical and Extremal problems until October 11, 2004, when it was renamed into the current name. During the Soviet regime, since 1947, the Third Main Directorate of the Health Care ministry was responsible for such duties.

The Agency (FMBA) focuses national attention on developing and applying disease control and prevention.
