On May 16, the plenary session of the thematic day "New Technologies for Health Preservation", timed to coincide with the Week of Technological Leadership, was held. It discussed a new national project dedicated to technologies in medicine.

Demographic trends of recent years form new challenges for healthcare, said Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Tatyana Golikova.

"The growth of life expectancy has become a stimulus for the development of advanced areas of medical science, without which it is impossible to achieve the national goal reflected in the decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin of May 7, which is to preserve the population and strengthen its health. The "New Technologies for Health Preservation" national project is aimed at solving this task," said Tatyana Golikova.

Biotechnologies that allow increasing life expectancy have already been introduced into clinical practice — in particular, more than 50 thousand women have undergone IVF procedure, the first medicine for the treatment of Behterev's disease, new bioengineering products for the treatment of joints, biotic prostheses and other means of treatment have appeared. Russia has created global-level technologies and the national project will focus on them, emphasized Tatyana Golikova.

It is planned to introduce new medications, biomedical technologies that prevent cell aging. Much attention will be paid to remote diagnostics, artificial intelligence in medicine, radiopharmaceuticals for the treatment of oncology and other diseases. In addition, the national project will focus on disease prevention. Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary interaction between scientists. For this purpose, it is necessary to determine the directions of research and ways of their implementation, said Deputy Prime Minister.

"For this purpose, last year we began to create a special subsystem of the Unified State Information System of record of research, development and technological works of civil purpose. It will help us select the most promising developments and monitor their implementation," Tatyana Golikova emphasized.

In 2025, the strategy of medical science development will be finalized. According to Tatyana Golikova, it is already necessary to form a new document that will define the directions of medical science development and will become the basis for the realization of the national project.

The new national project will consist of five federal projects — "Medical Science — New Technologies for Man", "Personal Medical Assistants", "Biomedical Technologies of the Future for Active Longevity and Healthy Aging", "New Medical Technologies for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention" and "Development of Production of the Most Demanded Medicines". As a result, the share of medical care using new technologies should reach 10% by 2030. This will also make it possible to achieve a life expectancy of 78 years by the same date, said Health Minister Mikhail Murashko. Regulatory environment plays a big role in the integration of technologies — it allows to accelerate their implementation.

"Regulatory framework actually pursues the very support of scientific search and the goal of preserving population. What was stated in the President's instruction following his participation in the plenary session of the Future Technologies Forum creates opportunities for us to achieve new breakthrough results. Our capabilities guarantee this," said Mikhail Murashko, Minister of Health of the Russian Federation.

The session was attended by industry experts, heads of regions and representatives of federal executive authorities. They discussed the system of support for medical universities and research centers, industrial capacity and technological efficiency of the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the implementation of the new national project in the regions.

It should be reminded that the RUSSIA EXPO is held on the territory of VDNH in Moscow from November 4 to July 8. Visitors are presented expositions of 89 regions of Russia, leading federal departments, corporations and public organizations. More than 13 million people have already visited the Exposition.
