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.
