"The technological structure, the system of interaction with a patient, new ideologies of healthcare development – all of these are key features of the modern time. Our specialists take part in international conferences and symposiums and send reports on the most significant changes they see in their field in the industry, on the innovations that we need to implement. The current paradigm of healthcare is to change the approach from the ideology of simply treating diseases to a serious personal approach to preventing certain diseases, accompanying a patient throughout their life. Thus, creating conditions for a person to realise themselves to the full in the social space, less looking back at the severity and time of illness,” said the minister.

Ekaterina Priezzheva, Russian Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade, read out a greeting from Anton Alikhanov, Russian Minister of Industry and Trade, and spoke about the Ministry's role in the development of the pharmaceutical and medical industries.

It gives every opportunity to coordinate positions, openly discuss the accumulated issues, and agree on further joint steps.

“Over decades, Russian Healthcare Week has gone from a trade show to a major national forum. The interests of doctors, manufacturers, regulators, research and educational centres are represented here: all those on whom the quality of medical care in this country depends,” said Yury Kalinin."

We will talk about the quality of life of patients, and about the future of the healthcare system, about who and how will work in medicine tomorrow,” said Maxim Fateev.
