On March 1, an online conference “Hungarian technologies in Healthcare in Russia took place at the MTPP site. Prospects for cooperation”.
Opening the conference, the Vice-President of the ICCI Suren Vardanyan said: “Today we will consider several topics related to both the introduction of technologies and the results of localization of certain industries, certification and assessment of the likely complexity and prospects.”
The Trade Representative of the Russian Federation in Hungary Sergey Bezrukov spoke about cooperation between the countries in the field of innovative healthcare. Over the past year, trade turnover has grown by 25.9%, with Russian exports growing by 40% and Hungarian by 8%. Non-primary exports of the Russian Federation also increased by 38%. “Fruitful work has been established between the two states. The trade representative office is always open for communication with any companies and businessmen to share information, find the right partner,” the trade representative said.
Konstantin Romanov, Head of the Department for the Organization of Support for the Activities of Medical Organizations of the Moscow Department of Health, said: “We are open to dialogue with all interested companies, including Hungarian ones, on the introduction of innovative technologies in the capital’s healthcare.”
Artur Seliverstov, Deputy General Director of the Moscow Center for Innovative Technologies in Healthcare, spoke about the organization and conduct of pilot tests and their implementation in the practice of medical institutions in Moscow. He suggested that Hungarian companies that have developments, regardless of the stage, send them to the Moscow Center for Innovative Technologies in Healthcare for examination and development of cooperation options. “We are ready to act as a single window, as the main partner, to provide algorithms to projects and improve them. We are ready to assist in obtaining registration certificates for projects,” Artur Seliverstov said.
Chief freelance specialist traumatologist-orthopedist of the Department of Health Vadim Dubrov said that over the past two years in Moscow, it was possible to reduce the mortality rate within a year after hip fractures from 72.5% to 16%. “No specialty: neither surgery, nor oncology, nor cardiology has been able to achieve such results in prolonging human life. Unfortunately, we can only do this with the help of our industrial partners. If they don’t help us with implants, we won’t be able to do anything,” Vadim Dubrov explained. He stressed that Russian surgeons have their own vision, experience, requirements and proposals and called on Hungarian partners to bring to the Russian market “not only what they have, but also what we need.”
