Participants
in the session ‘Open
Dialogue on Medicine: Personnel, Technologies, and Opportunities in the New
World’ spoke about advanced Russian
domestic developments in medicine that create new opportunities for treating
and preventing diseases. “Many of the scientific developments that are already
being tested seem like science fiction to us today, but will soon become
routine and part of daily practice. Our medical science is developing at a
colossal pace. Further evidence of this was the development of the world’s
first coronavirus vaccine, which is successfully being used today in many
countries around the world. Russian scientists have once again proved that they
have every right to be at the forefront of medical science, but our ambitions
are not limited to vaccines. We are actively working on the export of medical
technologies
and education,”
Kobyakova said.
Petrov
moderated the session ‘Drug
Security: Strategic Course of Social Policy in the Far East. Challenges and
Opportunities’: “Today, we can say
with certainty that the unique drug labelling system we have built is working
and working efficiently. Today, consumers can and should become the main
controllers and participate in building a drug security system. Each package of
medicine can be checked. A few years ago, we could only dream of such powerful protection
against counterfeit,” he said.
The
session ‘Age and Image
as Part of Social Attitude Towards Culture and Traditions’ touched upon such issues as preventive medicine, anti-age
medicine, as well as disease prevention and promoting the principles of a
healthy lifestyle. The meeting was held as part of the Health & Beauty
project, which the Roscongress Foundation presented at the St. Petersburg
International Economic Forum in 2022. “The Health & Beauty project will
become an integral part of the top business events organized by the Roscongress
Foundation. In addition, this year we will launch a series of thematic meetings
dedicated to the topic of health and beauty, as well as hold roundtables with
leading experts in the medical and cosmetic industry,” said Anastasia Stolkova,
First Deputy CEO for Development and Director of the Roscongress Foundation’s
Healthcare Directorate.
The organizer of the Eastern Economic Forum is the Roscongress Foundation.
