Values-Based Healthcare: Through the Lens of Economic Challenges
Strategic session Today’s healthcare system is heading down a path of exponential development of high-cost innovative technologies. At the beginning of 2021, the national healthcare system received a reduction in funding from the federal budget, with further cuts expected in the coming years. In light of these conditions, what is required is an approach that focuses on the unconditional quality of medical care with maximum benefit to patients. Strategies should be based on the principles of personalized medicine and comprehensive solutions at every stage of medical care, from prevention and treatment to patient rehabilitation. Values-based healthcare outlines efforts to stop the progression of disease, prevent occurrence of disease, support early detection and continually monitor patients’ health status based on IT and telemedicine technologies. It highlights the principle of participation by taking into account a ‘second opinion’, as well as the introduction of tools to analyse needs and patient satisfaction. The values-based healthcare model is best equipped to support the achievement of national projects, increase life expectancy and promote the health of the working-age population, while contributing to the optimization of funding, a key criterion for which is the quality of services provided and the effectiveness of treatments using innovative technologies and drugs.
• What challenges is the healthcare system facing as a result of the pandemic and how well-equipped is the national healthcare system to respond to the requirements of a values-based approach?
• Which areas of the medical care system need to be modernized as a priority in the context of values-based healthcare?
• Which solutions for modernizing the healthcare system can help in the achievement of the goals of reducing mortality from circulatory disease and improving the quality and availability of medical care?
• What tools for improving the drug supply system can help to prevent the development of socially significant diseases?
• What can be done to develop patient-focused healthcare and turn patients into reliable partners of the state willing to fight for their own wellbeing?

Post-COVID-19 Recovery at the Heart of Government Strategy
Panel session It has become clear that the issues associated with the long-term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are not only having a significant impact on public health but are adversely affecting the economy and are placing a strain on the healthcare system. In June 2021, President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin announced the creation of a programme for the development of a post-COVID medical rehabilitation system for the period until 2026. It is necessary to ensure the resolution of approaches for the medical treatment of post-COVID syndrome (long COVID) and the development of specialist infrastructure, including efforts to provide medical organizations with equipment, train additional personnel and create the necessary conditions for the implementation and large-scale rollout of leading aftercare practices and developments. Members of the medical community must be able to share information and access the latest post-COVID recovery developments and technologies. As things stand, there has been no consistent approach to the fight against long COVID, and there are no targeted drug treatments. What is needed is a state programme to support scientific and medical research into long COVID so that future research can identify the causes behind COVID symptoms and find ways to prevent the development of severe complications. A comprehensive range of measures to support patients to overcome the effects of coronavirus infection should help them to recover quickly and make a full return to a normal life.
• What steps must be taken in order to implement the medical recovery programme for people infected with coronavirus?
• What resources need to be drawn on in order to provide care for all patients suffering from long COVID?
• What state support is needed for the development of scientific and medical research into long COVID and the formulation of approaches to aftercare?
• What contemporary developments in science and medicine, including in clinical pharmacology, can bring us closer to solving the problem of long COVID?
• What medical methods and technologies, including new innovations, are already being successfully applied to treat patients recovering from coronavirus? Which tools can be used to roll out best practice?

Stopping HIV: Steps Towards Implementing the Government Strategy
Panel session This session is timed to coincide with World AIDS Day In 2020, the rate of HIV infection decreased by 25% compared with the previous reporting period, but the epidemiological situation with regard to HIV in Russia remains a cause for concern. At the end of last year, the government established a state strategy to counter the spread of HIV in Russia for the period to 2030. This became a new springboard for policy measures to prevent the spread of the life-threatening infection nationwide. According to the state strategy, the entire Russian population should be given access to proper screening for HIV, the use of antiretroviral therapy should be scaled up significantly and the risk of transmission of HIV from mother to child should be reduced. Among other goals, public awareness of the virus should be higher. There is significant progress being made in the treatment of HIV today, and patients are able to lead productive and full lives. According to the Russian Ministry of Health, HIV infections in Russia began to plateau at the end of last year. A further decrease in the incidence and spread of HIV in Russia will be possible if a vaccine is developed. In this respect, looking to the experience of developing drugs and vaccines to fight the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus offers a progressive solution.
• What changes have been made to strategies to prevent the spread of HIV infection in Russia as a result of the pandemic?
• How can the incidence of HIV infection be reduced and how can the rate of detection of HIV infections be improved?
• What is the role of the regions in terms of putting forward measures for the implementation of the state strategy?
• What regulatory decisions should be made in order to simplify and expand access to antiretroviral therapy and innovative medical technologies for HIV patients?
• What public policy measures can help to drive the development and production of innovative drugs in Russia?
• Which scientific discoveries could bring forward the development of an HIV vaccine?
• What measures could be taken to increase public awareness of HIV and prevent discrimination against people living with HIV?

The Fight Against Diabetes: State Strategy and Practice
Panel session After the federal target programme on Diabetes was shut down in 2012 the number of patients with diabetes in Russia began to rise rapidly, with the country now seeing some of the highest rates globally. The number of patients with diabetes has more than doubled in the intervening period. Furthermore, the asymptomatic course of diabetes means that the actual prevalence exceeds official statistics by at least twofold, meaning that around 10 million people in Russia are living with the condition. The fight against diabetes should be comprehensive and involve all aspects of public health, including efforts to ensure the monitoring and availability of systematic medical provision from outpatient to inpatient care, the strengthening of human resources, support for innovative smart drug technologies at all stages from development to integration into the public health system, and the systematic elimination of risk factors including the identification of at-risk groups, lifestyle changes and the promotion of a culture of responsible public attitudes towards health.
• What measures are being taken to reduce the diabetes burden in Russia and how are they contributing to the achievement of the national goals? What challenges is the system of medical care and drug supply for patients with diabetes currently facing and how can it be improved?
• What state support measures can improve patient access to innovative diabetes therapies? Will the federal programme to fight diabetes be able to solve this problem and how?
• What criteria and principles should be used to guide decisions on public funding for new diabetes treatment technologies?
• What difficulties are patients facing in terms of accessing medical care today?
• What new technologies are of greatest benefit to patients?

Pursuing the 2024 Targets: Prevention and Treatment of Cardiovascular Disease
Panel session Diseases of the circulatory system account for 47% of mortality in Russia. The programme of preferential medical provision for patients with acute cardiovascular conditions was expanded in 2021 as an additional measure in the prevention of premature mortality related to cardiovascular disease. The majority of fatalities, however, are the result of chronic illnesses of the circulatory system. Efforts to counter this should be based on an integrated cardiovascular risk management system, as is the case with acute illnesses. Taking into account the potential of modern drug therapies, the prioritization of early outpatient diagnostics and measures to prevent complications, this approach should reduce mortality rates from circulatory disease, including among the working age population.
• How has the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic affected improvements to the cardiac care system in Russia?
• How will the programme to expand preferential medical provision for patients with cardiovascular disease affect efforts to achieve the federal project targets?
• Will increasing the availability of outpatient drug therapies in cases of chronic cardiovascular disease reduce the economic burden?
• What measures to systematically improve the provision of medical care for patients with acute and chronic cardiovascular disease can help to reduce mortality from circulatory disease?
• What role does a personalized approach to early diagnosis play in the system for managing cardiovascular risk?
• What are the prospects for public policy aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles as a core preventive measure against cardiovascular disease?

National Drug Safety: Expanding Access
Panel session Strategic access to essential drugs for all categories of citizens is a key part of ensuring national drug safety. 2021 saw a number of decisions taken by government agencies to improve and expand the drug supply. Nevertheless, issues around the insufficient provision of drugs for able-bodied patients not suffering from severe disease in the outpatient segment remain unresolved, and further initiatives to provide the population with access to high-quality treatments are required. Solutions to this issue are largely being held back by the search for models and sources of funding. State regulatory policy remains focused on issues of market transparency and quality controls for medicines, pricing, efforts to find effective drug registration solutions, the retention of essential treatments on the market, and reaching sufficient market saturation of innovative treatments through domestic and localized production.
• What initiatives have been adopted in the drug supply system since the beginning of 2021, and what are their goals? What outcomes should the initiative to update the essential drug coverage programme seek to achieve?
• To what extent does this year’s drug policy respond to the targets and objectives of the national projects?
• Which pressing concerns in the drug supply system remain unresolved and require consideration at the legislative and executive levels?
• Is Russia ready for universal outpatient drug provision? What are the barriers preventing a universal drug supply system from being successfully established, and what solutions are being considered in order to overcome them?
• How can national drug safety be ensured and the uninterrupted availability of high-quality and effective drugs for Russian citizens be guaranteed?
