Dates Set for Healthy Life Forum 2020
The dates have been set for
the Healthy Life Forum. The event will take place on 12 February 2020 at the
Olympic Park Main Media Centre in Sochi.
The Healthy Life Forum, which
last year was held with the slogan ‘Towards 80+’, will take place on the first
day of the Russian Investment Forum for the second year in a row. The Forum has
already established itself as a platform to discuss and find solutions to the
implementation of national projects that aim to create a healthy society and
increase healthy life expectancy among Russians.
“Increasing the healthy life expectancy of Russian citizens is one of the
top priorities facing the government today. The Forum serves as a platform for
dialogue between government officials and the expert community and a place
where practical tools are being developed to achieve national goals and
objectives in healthcare. Organizing such platforms for the expert community to
interact is of strategic importance. An integrated approach and joint work
among representatives of the medical community, society, and the government is
important for solving problems,” Advisor to the Russian President Anton
Kobyakov said.
“Holding the Healthy Life Forum on the first day of the Russian Investment
Forum has become a good tradition and a significant event in the Russian and
international medical communities. Last year, over 3,000 people attended the
event, including representatives of the federal and regional authorities, the
expert and scientific community, major domestic and foreign companies, and
various types of practitioners. The events and discussions held at the Forum
helped to find joint solutions in order to create a healthy society and
lifestyle and increase life expectancy among Russians,” Russian Minister of
Health Veronika Skvortsova said.
Roscongress Foundation First
Deputy CEO for Development Anastasia Stolkova said, “The healthcare and healthy
lifestyle agenda has been the basis of numerous discussions at various
platforms of the Roscongress Foundation: the St. Petersburg International
Economic Forum, the Eastern Economic Forum, the Russian Investment Forum, and
others. I am certain that the Healthy Life Forum will become one of the
Foundation’s key events and a platform for reviewing the progress of activities
in this area over the past year.”
