Increasing Russian Life Expectancy by 2030
Making a breakthrough in life expectancy by increasing it from today's 73 to 78 by 2024 is a top priority for the Russian healthcare system. This challenge will require a huge concentration of effort by the whole of society: the state, business, and citizens themselves. An innovative development scenario for public health services should replace the current inert one. This means ensuring conditions in which healthcare professionals can practise creativity by choosing priorities, developing an effective programme with target indicators, making accurate and quick decisions, and establishing personal responsibility for the outcome. In order to achieve the goal of 78, the country must take immediate action. Should men and children be the priority focus of healthcare for the Russian population? What funding is required to reach 78 by 2024? Which strategic objectives should additional funding solve? How can the burden of responsibility for the population’s health be distributed between the state, employers, and citizens? What immediate solutions should be adopted in the healthcare system to meet the challenges of the time? How should doctors be trained to improve the level of trust between them and patients? Who should be appointed to manage healthcare in order to ensure significant improvements for the industry?
