Development of Health Care Technologies on the Path to a Healthy Life
The number of technologies is increasing, but the number of people capable of working with them is lower. Basically, we need more of them. They need to keep pace with our technologies, particularly in biomedicine

Development of Health Care Technologies on the Path to a Healthy Life
Medical education sometimes does not match the reality. <...> We need to eliminate the difference between university and clinical workers. Scientists should teach science, and doctors – very good doctors – should teach medicine. Lectures should truly reflect the reality of today

Development of Health Care Technologies on the Path to a Healthy Life
In terms of technological sovereignty (especially in the field of medicines and medical equipment)... good results can be achieved quickly if the development team is localized in a scientific centre. This is when doctors, engineers, and scientists work on a problem together in one place. <...> If a developer of medical equipment is based in a scientific centre, they can interact with doctors who best understand what is expected of this equipment. They can then produce prototypes and conduct testing

Development Strategies: How Megatrends Impact Women's Economic Potential
Russia is a leader in biomedicine. Any new technology, if we talk about it, especially the technology of the future, implies scientific discovery. Today we are working with young people. This trend has been taken up by the FMBA and Women of Russia. We will always succeed!

Development Strategies: How Megatrends Impact Women's Economic Potential
In order for biomedicine to develop well, the most important issue that needs to be addressed is, of course, staffing by way of graduates from medical, engineering and other universities. And this needs to start right from school, where we mainly provide career guidance, and students, especially first-years, who need to be motivated to go into science

Healthcare: New Realities and Points of Transformation
We had a session yesterday, and Kuzbass spoke, and [the speaker] said: ‘Yes, we are short on medical staff in rehabilitation.’ It’s a personnel thing, of course. It’s a question of working with human resources every day and every hour, and starting right in primary school. And especially the managers. Education and training for managers. From long personal experience I can say that if there are no good managers - [and] it’s 60% organizational issues - nothing will help

Demographic Challenges of the 21st Century: How to Increase the Birth Rate and Restore Children’s Health?
A lower number of abortions: there is not a single prohibitive measure that will help us resolve the problem – it will only make it worse. It will raise maternal mortality and criminalize the situation. <…> We need to change a doctor’s approach: they need to be invested in the woman keeping her pregnancy

Demographic Challenges of the 21st Century: How to Increase the Birth Rate and Restore Children’s Health?
15% of our country’s population suffer from infertility. Earlier, it was a common belief that it was only women who were infertile. No, if we take these 15%, it would be a 50/50 split

Healthy Life Expectancy in the Russian Far East
We are talking about oncology and cardiovascular diseases, but the most important thing is primary care, i.e. where the patient goes first. Unfortunately, the situation is very poor in the Far East. What is primary care? Prevention and early detection

Healthy Life Expectancy in the Russian Far East
Life expectancy in the Far East is lower due to the able-bodied population […] If you take the mortality rate of all men in the Far East, 80% are able-bodied, young men […] In half of the regions of the Far East, external causes are the leading cause of death, and not cardiovascular diseases

Healthy Life Expectancy in the Russian Far East
In the Far East, rural health centres aren’t even the most important thing because we know how vast the Far East is and about the lack of roads; mobile forms [of healthcare] are what are essential here […] Air medical services as well. The Far East is already receiving subsidies in 2017–2018 from the federal budget for the development of air medical services. Today, we are expanding this project even further

With his ‘May decrees’, the Russian President, as you know, assigned us the monumental and ambitious task of extending life expectancy to 78 years by 2024, and in 2030 we should already have it above 80 […] The President provided us with the opportunity to create a national healthcare project. Imagine that – RUB 1.34 trillion on healthcare

The Efficient Development of Long-term Care and Palliative Care: the Responsibility of Government or Society?
What do we need to develop any kind of care? First and foremost, it is a regulatory and legal framework, infrastructure, personnel and a source of financing. <…> The concept of palliative care has emerged only 2011, and the primary legal and regulatory base only in 2015. We only have 200 geriatrists in the whole country. Today we have the capacity for about 12 thousand palliative care patients, whereas in 2011 we literally had only a few
