Healthcare: re-establishing routine medical care

5 June 2020
A roundtable entitled ‘Healthcare: re-establishing routine medical care’ is set to take place on 5 June at 17:00 (Moscow time). The event is organized by the Content Foundation for the Development of Expert and Analytical Activity with the support of the Roscongress Foundation. The media sponsors are Vesti.ru and TASS news agency. 
A live stream of the event will be broadcast on Vesti.ru, as well as on the TASS news agency site and on the Future of Russia: National Projects portal. The event will also be available to watch on the official TASS social media pages and on the Content Foundation’s YouTube channel. 
Participants in the event are set to include: Deputy Minister for Healthcare of the Russian Federation Evgeny Kamkin; World Health Organization Representative to the Russian Federation Melita Vujnovic; Chairman of the State Duma Healthcare Committee Dmitry Morozov; Director of the National Medical Research Radiological Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Andrey Kaprin; Director of the National Research Centre for Preventive Medicine of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Sergey Boytsov; Chairman of the Russian-Japanese Business Council, President of Delovaya Rossiya (Business Russia) and Chairman of the Board at Group R-Pharm Alexey Repik; Director of the National Research Centre for Endocrinology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation Natalia Mokrisheva; and General Manager of AstraZeneca (Russia and Eurasia) Irina Panarina, among others.
“In Russia, as in many countries across the world, a significant proportion of healthcare resources has been directed toward the fight against COVID-19. In that context, it has been important to observe a balance between containing the coronavirus infection and providing patients who have acute or chronic health problems with urgent bespoke medical care in a comprehensive manner. Gradually restoring the provision of planned medical care is now more important than ever.”
Meeting participants will discuss issues such as the investment needed to make healthcare more accessible, the home care practices implemented in some regions, how remote prescribing will change the way patients obtain medicine, how telemedicine – which becomes essential in a pandemic – will change the shape of medical care provision in the future and which steps we need to take today to mitigate the potential negative effects of the pandemic for all citizens.
The event is supported by AstraZeneca.
