of participants underscores the important practical significance of the expert

concerning the development of the industry are considered from different

organizations, and business. This approach helps to maximize the effective use
of the discussion platform in order to develop roadmaps for the implementation
of projects that aim to improve the healthcare system,” said Anastasia
Stolkova, First Deputy Chief Executive Officer for Development, Director of the

The business programme session ‘Priorities for
Healthcare Development: Innovative Technologies and Personalized Medicine’ was
part of the ‘Technological Development as a Guarantee of Sovereignty’ track. Today,
high-tech healthcare can significantly improve the quality of life for people
in need of medical care due to: high-tech operations, informative modern
diagnostic methods, personalized rehabilitation technologies, remote
consultations, as well as the remote monitoring of patients’ health. High-tech
healthcare can only develop with an industrial and technological base for the
production of: modern diagnostic equipment, original medicines and innovative
medical materials, and the development of genomic technologies. The use of
advanced technologies to prevent diseases is equally important. Modern clusters
and centres of preventive medicine in Russia already offer a high level of
treatment based on advanced healthcare technologies.
The experts discussed what new tools are currently
being used in the Far East to improve the provision of medical care, what
priorities exist for developing high-tech healthcare to improve people’s health
and quality of life in remote and hard-to-reach regions, and the most effective
forms of cooperation in healthcare between the state and business in Russia and
Asia-Pacific countries.
The Healthy Life ecosystem is a specialized platform
for government representatives and expert communities to engage in a direct
dialogue at the national and international levels in order to jointly search
for practical proposals to address key health issues. The project also plays an
active role in the government’s social policy and is responsible for the
concept of creating a healthy society as a benchmark for Russia’s development.
The ecosystem is a sustainable development tool that is used to advance Russia
as a driver of the global health agenda.
