Healthy Life Forum to Be Held on Opening Day of SPIEF 2020
The Healthy Life Forum will be held on 3 June 2020,
the opening day of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. The Forum
is one of the leading discussion platforms concerning the development of
healthcare, creating a healthy lifestyle, and boosting Russians’ healthy life
expectancy.
“The international community needs to unify to combat
against infectious diseases in order to ensure the safety of citizens. Holding
the Healthy Life Forum at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum will
help attract the broad international expert community to search for practical
proposals to solve both national and global health problems”, Advisor to the
Russian President and Executive Secretary of the SPIEF Organizing Committee
Anton Kobyakov said.
The business programme of the Healthy Life Forum
encompasses all the most relevant and discussed healthcare issues, including
the fight against infectious, cardiovascular, and oncological diseases,
demographics, healthcare funding, federal projects, and more. The Forum is
supported by the Russian Ministry of Health.
“The Healthy Life Forum brings together
representatives of government, business, and public organizations to build a
dialogue and find solutions for implementing key projects in the healthcare
sector whose main purpose is to increase the life expectancy of our citizens.
Building a healthy society is a complex task that requires the involvement of a
wide community of experts, and such discussion platforms are a meeting place
for everyone who is interested in the healthy future of our country”, Russian
Deputy Minister of Health Oleg Salagay said.
For reference: the Healthy Life Forum was originally supposed to be
held on the opening day of the Russian Investment Forum in Sochi, which was
postponed by a directive of the Russian Government following the World Health
Organization’s announcement of an international emergency due to the outbreak
of the new coronavirus infection.
In 2019, the Healthy Life Forum was attended by 3,000
people, including foreign delegations from 21 countries.
