Staff Training to Meet the Challenges of Modern Healthcare

Medical education in the CIS historically has a strong clinical foundation and unique scientific schools that aim to train highly professional personnel and develop breakthrough medical technologies. Nevertheless, contemporary issues pose a number of challenges in the educational sector for all CIS countries: ensuring equal rights for all citizens to receive affordable and high-quality education, introducing innovations, and improving the integration of educational infrastructure. At present, the agenda for developing medical education includes implementing state measures to eliminate shortages of personnel, mainly in primary healthcare, and to support the employment of young professionals. Given the current challenges, it is of paramount importance to build up human resources in such strategically important areas as public health, biotechnology, genetics, neurotechnology, the digitalization of healthcare, the development of artificial intelligence, and the creation of vaccines and other medical products. The healthcare systems of CIS countries also need modern management personnel – leaders of change who can form effective teams to develop the industry. What are the strategic focuses for the development of the medical education system in CIS countries? What steps need to be taken to expand integration opportunities? What innovations have already been introduced into the medical personnel training system in the CIS, and what are the current focuses of training at medical universities? How can we ensure import independence and competitiveness in educational technologies? What successful measures of social support for medical workers exist today, and are they sufficient to increase the number of human resources in the industry? What kind of challenges does the system of higher professional and continuing medical education face today?

Healthy Cities – New Challenges of the Times: Best Practices and Prospects for Cooperation in Public Health in the CIS

The concept of healthy cities offers a single paradigm for a humanistic approach to society’s involvement in decision-making that affects people’s living conditions, building social capital, and creating an accessible social and physical environment that enables people to reach their maximum potential in terms of health and well-being. The key approach to multilevel governance in healthy cities is to take people’s health into account, while putting public health at the top of the agenda of local governments. This approach helps to create synergies by ensuring a coherent policy and strengthening partnerships of trust with a wide range of government, civil, and business entities. Creating an interstate platform to bolster public health and developing international cooperation among CIS countries to maximize the potential of the global movement of healthy cities is a strategically important step towards achieving the goal of the health and well-being of the population of CIS countries in the face of the current challenges. What institutional approaches to public health management are needed, and what role do the municipal authorities play in strengthening public health?

How to Build a Modern Prevention Model for a Healthy Society

Modern challenges require a paradigm shift in the work of the primary healthcare sector. The preservation of people’s health, including for able-bodied citizens, is a priority. One of the main modern trends is a personalized approach to prevention, including the use of modern digital transformation capabilities. The availability and comfort of care, especially as regards treatment for preventive purposes, is an unquestioned need among patients. International experience shows that getting working citizens involved in preserving their health and promptly correcting risk factors is an extremely complex task. What issues are being addressed by medical prevention now and which ones still need to be addressed? What achievements of modern science in matters concerning preventive care are the most promising? Does international experience have the potential to be implemented in practice? What do the terms ‘convenient’ and ‘comfortable’ mean in the case of preventive care, and what do patients need? Can non-health workers help us with a new prevention model?

Corporate Health: The Basis of a Healthy Future

Corporate health programmes are among the key mechanisms for managing the health of the able-bodied part of society. The range of responsibility of corporate healthcare strategies should include measures that aim to prevent and diagnose diseases, the provision of qualified medical care, as well as the prevention of the development of diseases and risk factors. When drawing up corporate programmes, employers should focus not only on the problem of the spread of socially significant chronic non-communicable diseases, but also on the problem of controlling the psychological and emotional climate in the workplace and preventing stress factors that lead to decreased efficiency and professional burnout. Measures should be taken to ensure a healthy environment at companies and promote healthy lifestyles among employees and a responsible attitude to their health. A full-fledged corporate health culture needs to be created that encompasses all aspects of health management, including an analysis of disability risks and the use of preventive measures. To what extent do corporate programmes meet the goal of strengthening public health? What niches have yet to be fully implemented and require efforts from companies and enterprises? What criteria dictate the effectiveness of corporate programmes? What government support measures are needed to expand corporate health programmes?

Development of Technologies for the Manufacturing and Use of Innovative Radiopharmaceuticals

The development of innovative domestic radiopharmaceuticals, technologies for their industrial production, as well as methods for their use in medicine is a top priority for Russia’s scientific and technological development and the foundation for personalized medicine as well as the diagnosis and treatment of various oncological, cardiological, rheumatological, and other diseases. The high-tech solutions and products that have been developed help to ensure Russia’s scientific and technological leadership and independence in the critically important healthcare industry. The global market for the isotope complex (sources of ionizing radiation, stable isotopes, active pharmaceutical ingredients, and radiopharmaceuticals) alone is worth more than USD 6 billion. The market segment associated with the development of radiopharmaceuticals is expected to increase to USD 10 billion by 2030. Russia is currently a leader in the world market for the production and supply of raw radionuclide products (e.g., such promising radionuclides as Ac-22 and Th-227). However, technological expertise and production infrastructure need to be developed more rapidly, including the production of radiopharmaceuticals in accordance with international GMP standards and the introduction of new diagnostic and treatment methods into medical practice, to meet the real needs of the domestic healthcare system for radiopharmaceuticals. When will the necessary production facilities be created in accordance with international GMP standards? What new radiopharmaceuticals will be brought to the market first? Will radiopharmaceuticals be included in the Vital and Essential Drugs List? Is the government considering the issue of including technologies that use radiopharmaceuticals in the Programme for State Guarantee of Free Medical Care to the Citizens of the Russian Federation?

Women’s Role in Innovative Healthcare Development: Breakthrough Solutions Amidst New Challenges

Current challenges and the global COVID-19 pandemic have plotted new vectors for the transformation of the healthcare industry around the world. Fundamentally new paradigms and key trends in preserving health have been actively forming in recent years. Effective models of organizing the healthcare system, approaches to disease prevention, and modern technologies for treatment and rehabilitation are being introduced. One of the key modern trends is a personalized approach to prevention, including the use of breakthrough innovative solutions. And women play a prominent role in these transformations. In terms of the number of women in science, Russia is one of the leaders around the world, with women making up more than 70% of Russian doctors and around 95% of paramedical workers. In drug production alone, more than 60% of workers are women. As an example, 17 of the 31 key specialists who developed the Russian coronavirus vaccine Sputnik V are women. In the world of innovative technologies, women account for almost a third of international patent applications. What role does the women’s community play in modern trends in scientific and innovative development and what tools are needed to support it? What advances in modern technologies for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases and rehabilitation are the most promising today? What does ‘convenient’ and ‘comfortable’ mean for patients in terms of preventive care? What best practices in developing and introducing innovative technologies, as well as in promoting healthy lifestyles, have the potential for sharing exchange and being scaled up?

Mental Health of the Population

Mental health is an area of healthcare that requires more and more attention from the government and society. The growing prevalence of mental illness, discrimination against people suffering from psychiatric disorders, disability, the diminished quality of life not only of patients, but also of their relatives, as well as downplaying the importance of diseases and underestimating their impact on socioeconomic indicators has all caused many people to only reach out for psychiatric help in the most extreme cases, and a significant number of patients are left without proper examinations and qualified treatment. However, timely diagnosis and high-quality preventive measures are an essential factor in preventing mental disorders. What modern methods of monitoring people’s mental health exist today? How are Russia and CIS countries implementing a system of continuity in the provision of psychiatric care to the population? What problems and difficulties do CIS countries face in organizing psychiatric and narcological services? What can be done to make timely mental healthcare more accessible? What modern approaches are being implemented in the psychosocial rehabilitation of people impacted by military actions?

According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, approximately 27,000 people around the world die from cancer each day. The World Health Organization predicts there will be more than 30 million new cases of cancer a year by 2040. Oncological diseases clearly pose a serious global socioeconomic problem today and threaten to incapacitate and reduce the working population. The Russian Federation, in cooperation with CIS member states, devotes considerable attention to developing and introducing new technologies to diagnose and treat cancer, including the use of nuclear medicine. The CIS Economic Council has approved an action plan to implement the Concept of Cooperation between CIS Member States in Combating Oncological Diseases for 2020–2024, the co-executor of which is the Association of Directors of Institutes of Oncology and Radiology of the CIS and Eurasia. The partnership’s agenda includes such issues as the digitalization of healthcare, the active use of telemedicine technologies, the development of molecular genetic diagnostic methods, the expansion of capabilities for minimally invasive and organ-preserving treatment, and the introduction of in-house developments in nuclear medicine. Special attention is also being paid to the advanced training of oncologists and radiologists. What joint scientific cooperation programmes are CIS countries successfully implementing today? How is experience being shared and new technologies being introduced in practice? What are the prospects for cooperation in the near future, and what results does it aim to achieve?

New Threats in the Modern World: The Evolution of Infectious Diseases

The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the importance of the problem of socially significant infections, as well as the threat of new infections and infectious epidemics emerging on a global scale. During the pandemic, fundamental changes were made in the approaches to providing medical care to patients with the novel coronavirus infection. The emergence of new strains of SARS-CoV-2 and new prevention and treatment drugs had a major impact not only on the clinical progression and outcomes of the disease, but also on how the epidemic process of COVID-19 and other acute respiratory infections manifest themselves. Exchanging best practices in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases will make an important contribution to coordinating efforts to respond to current and future biological threats in the CIS. What kind of assessment can we give to national and international experience in combatting COVID-19 and other topical infectious diseases? What “contribution” do socially significant infections make to the morbidity and mortality of the population, and what impact did the COVID-19 pandemic have on the intensity of their spread? What are the most significant factors in the evolution of infectious diseases at the present stage and what biological risks are most relevant now?

Presentation of Best Practices in Public Healthcare. Exchanging Experience with CIS Countries

Public health is a key prerequisite for the development of a prosperous society and state. Physical, emotional, and social health, as factors of harmonious development, are integral components of a unified public healthcare system and require an effective model of public administration in this area. However, problems related to the development of systematic approaches to strengthening public health not only need to be solved with state regulation, but with interaction among and taking into account the interests of all concerned parties – the state, business, NPOs, and society. In this context, exchanging proven experience and scaling up successful practices to promote public health at the level of CIS member countries is particularly important. What tools could contribute to joining efforts in public health and searching for opportunities for supranational regulation at the level of the CIS and the EAEU? What examples of the most successful experience in public health monitoring could other CIS members apply in practice? What best practices for creating an environment that preserves people’s health at the federal, regional, and municipal levels could be scaled up throughout the CIS? What examples of intersectoral and interagency cooperation could be adopted at the level of other CIS countries? How can women’s role in public health management be assessed, and what are the most successful examples of women’s practices and initiatives that could be used to create effective public health management systems?

Orphan Diseases: Developing and Harmonizing Support Programmes in the CIS

There are more than 6,000 rare diseases in the world, 70% of which are hereditary or congenital. Russian legislation needs to be further developed and modernized with more regulation when it comes to addressing the situation with orphan diseases in the country. Improvements need to be made to the principles of interaction between the relevant ministries, regional health authorities, and various medical institutions, and a common strategy needs to be developed to ensure equal access to medical care for all patients with genetic diseases. There is currently a need to integrate a separate institutional mechanism for orphan diseases at the CIS level, which could change the fragmented approach to solving the problem and coordinate the community’s overall efforts as regards the availability of medical supplies for all patients, the search for effective treatment, the development of screening diagnostic systems, and the provision of funding and information assistance to doctors and patients. What is the current assessment of the prospects for the availability of medical care for all patients with rare diseases today? What solutions could improve the system of care for patients with orphan diseases? What funding models could be applied in the current conditions, taking into account national and international experience? What solutions will help to develop and harmonize support programmes for patients with rare diseases in CIS countries?

Modern Approaches to Combatting Cardiovascular Diseases

Today, all CIS countries are deemed to have a high cardiovascular risk. Circulatory system diseases are among the leaders in morbidity and mortality, and cause significant direct and indirect economic losses. The historical similarities of the healthcare systems of CIS countries make it easy to exchange new organizational approaches to reducing mortality and enrich each other with best practices. What role does the WHO play in intercountry cooperation, and what is the role of the Russia’s WHO collaborating centres in organizing cardiovascular care? What solutions can be used to combat training problems? What issues and decisions are most long overdue in the introduction of clinical guidelines? What examples of best practices are of most interest in terms of collaboration in implementing strategies to reduce mortality from circulatory diseases, identifying high-risk patients, and managing risk? What practices can be used in the CIS to integrate patient management punctures between Russia and the CIS countries, create joint educational programmes and standards, and implement common scientific projects?

How to Learn to Be Healthy: From Lifestyle to Healthy Technologies

A healthy lifestyle is nothing more than habits and actions that help strengthen your immunity, increase your physical strength, and eliminate factors that negatively affect your well-being and body as a whole. There is no clear definition of what a healthy lifestyle is yet because everyone has their own understanding of what a healthy lifestyle is. And this is surprising since the concept came into our everyday life more than 50 years ago. Back then, doctors began to note genetic predispositions to certain diseases and look for ways to prevent them by following certain rules. From a medical point of view, a healthy lifestyle is what allows people to preserve their health and reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases – primarily heart attacks and strokes. However, in addition to this, there is a clear link today between decreased reproductive ability and how healthy people’s lifestyles are. Today, the World Health Organization defines health as a state of absolute mental, physical, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

A Unified Approach to Interagency Cooperation in Health Protection

The healthcare and social protection system offers a wide range of services for citizens today. One of the current trends in modern society is to improve each individual’s quality of life by expanding cooperation between the executive authorities and public organizations and charitable foundations. In order to intensify cooperation, it is crucial to engage in a dialogue and align processes of interagency interaction, including charitable foundations and public organizations, into a unified approach to work on complex cases as full-fledged partners both at the federal and international levels. There are already numerous examples of successful joint projects among public associations, business, the state, and medical organizations, in particular when it comes to providing assistance to seriously ill children, which are solely based on the provision of timely information about what kind of help is needed and to what extent. What needs to be done to fully include public organizations, businesses, and charitable foundations in a system with a human focus to work on complex cases? What best practices of such interaction already exist in the Russian regions and what international experience is there in this regard? What benefits can the system obtain overall from the effective cooperation of public and charitable organizations with the executive authorities? What digital technologies could facilitate such interaction?
