The message reads, in part:
“I am pleased to welcome you to the opening of the National Forum, The Health of the Nation – Basis of Russia’s Prosperity, which has brought together in Moscow an impressive number of participants, including prominent scientists and medical professionals, representatives of the Federation Council and the State Duma, specialised ministries and agencies, public organisations, NGOs and the media.
Over the years, your traditional meetings have rightfully earned broad and well-deserved recognition as an important platform for professional and expert discussions of a wide range of issues linked with the development of Russia’s healthcare system, improving the quality and accessibility of medical care, and addressing pressing environmental and conservation challenges.
I am confident that the forum’s extensive agenda, including its plenary session, business, competition and exhibition programmes, will provide an opportunity to exchange experience, as well as best practices and approaches. And of course, we look forward to your constructive proposals and initiatives that will contribute to the effective implementation of state policy in healthcare and demographics.”
