Business Programme Architecture Released for Healthy Life Forum
The business programme architecture for the Healthy Life Forum has been published on the
event’s website. The Forum, which will take place on 12 February 2020 on the
first day of the Russian Investment Forum in Sochi, will be held under the
motto ‘Sustainable Development Goals 2020’.
“We face the ambitious goal of increasing the life
expectancy of Russian citizens. Health is our most important value and taking
care of it not only depends on health programmes, but also each person’s individual
responsibility for their lifestyle. The Healthy Life Forum is a dialogue
platform to exchange experience and come up with practical proposals to
implement projects in the healthcare sector and promote a healthy and active
lifestyle. The Forum was held for the first time last year, brought together
more than 3,000 people from 21 countries, and immediately established itself as
one of the leading events in the healthcare industry,” Adviser to the Russian
President Anton Kobyakov said.
Yevgeny Shlyakhto, General Director of the Almazov
National Medical Research Centre of the Russian Ministry of Health and an
academician at the Russian Academy of Sciences, also noted the practical
significance of the event: “The implementation of such large-scale national
projects as the Healthcare project requires the intensive involvement of the
state, public professional organizations, the expert community, business, and the media.
Collaboration makes it possible to find new and interesting solutions to
achieve your goals. I am certain that we can expect important and meaningful
discussions at the Forum whose results will directly contribute to the
implementation of key projects in healthcare.”
The business programme track ‘Building Up the
Potential to Reduce Health Risks’ will bring together sessions that cover key
issues involving the creation of a healthy society and the implementation of
programmes that aim to increase Russians’ life expectancy. The track will
include discussions on the fight against cardiovascular and infectious
diseases, diabetes as well as modern technologies in healthcare.
“This year we have significantly expanded the Forum’s
business programme. Today it meets all modern trends and covers the most
relevant health topics. We expect the international expert community, including
the World Health Organization, to be widely represented,” Head of the Healthy Life project and First Deputy
Director for Development of the Roscongress
Foundation Anastasia Stolkova said.
Sessions in the track ‘Managing Healthcare: From the
Federal to the Regional Level’ will be devoted to funding for healthcare in the
regions, demographic prospects, the evolution of the drug supply system, and
corporate health programmes.
A meeting of the Expert Council on Regional Healthcare
of the Federation Council
of the Federal Assembly will
be held for the first time on the sidelines of the Healthy Life Forum.
Award ceremonies will be held at the Forum for the
winners of the national contest ‘Best Public-Private Collaboration Project in
Healthcare’ and the contest ‘Top 10 Innovative Companies in Healthcare’.
In 2020, a new business breakfast format with the
theme of ‘Health, Beauty, and Longevity’ will be held at the Healthy Life
Forum.
The intellectual partner of the Healthy Life Forum is
the Content Foundation for the Development of Expert and Analytical Activities.
