The Deputy Prime Minister read out the greeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The head of state emphasized that the topics of the forum have, without exaggeration, national significance. We are talking about the fundamental issues of demographic development, savings and strengthening human health, improving the quality and expectancy of life. And therefore, it is important that in the framework of open discussions, the key aspects of the national project “Long and active life”, which started in 2025, will be comprehensively considered. Its implementation requires joint efforts of the state, civil society institutions, business, scientific groups, creative understanding of the best domestic and world experience in this area.

Tatyana Golikova noted that since 2025, the implementation of another national project was launched – “New Technologies for Savings of Health”. It includes five federal projects.

Among the directions of the national project are preventive medicine technology and ensuring active and healthy longevity. At the current and beginning of next year, biomedical cell products and tissue engineering products of regenerative biomedicines and neurotechnology will be introduced into medical practice.

They are aimed at restoring lost functions or tissues, at cognitive health. This is a whole line of unique opportunities for the treatment of wounds and burns, male infertility, restoration of cartilage tissue of large joints, as well as drugs for the treatment of lesions of the brain and spinal cord. In addition, at the beginning of next year, the first Russian device for the correction of cognitive and stress disorders is expected.

In the medium term, the development of panels and a test system is planned to determine the biological age and aging processes of organs and tissues. This will further reduce the diagnosis of ancient forebodings and ensure its accuracy. By the end of the project, our scientists intend to obtain and introduce drugs that restore aging cells and their functions.

“Medicine of healthy longevity is first of all the opportunity to come, undergo an examination and get recommendations. Therefore, in the framework of the federal project “Health for each National Project“ Long and active life, we begin to transform the health centers and medical prevention centers created since 2008. We change their functions and reorient them from participation only in the medical examination and work with the risk factors for the development of preventive medicine, to work with the Minus, ”said Tatyana Golikova.

She noted that the medicine of healthy longevity should be available both at the place of residence and at the place of work. For the government, the organization of medical care at the workplace is an unconditional priority. Since last year, employers have been able to develop medical units in the framework of compulsory medical insurance or conclude contracts with medical organizations for the organization of dispensary observation at the workplace. Last year, more than 1.2 million working citizens took place at the workplace, 400 thousand of which were in medical units of employers.

A healthy family is one of the most important conditions for saving health, including children. In Russia, 24.5 million families with children, almost 2.7 million large families in which about 10 million children are growing. According to studies, in families, the level of spread of bad habits is 21%lower, and the development of chronic diseases is observed five to six years later than in single people.

Another example of the conditions for saving health is the cultural development of man. It is necessary to actively bring the capabilities of the cultural sphere to the population: visiting exhibitions, tour of theater groups, online broadcasts of performances. In total, in Russia 94.5 thousand cultural institutions. Culture should be filled with special content, motivating people to protect their health.

The forum was attended by more than a thousand specialists from all regions of the country. Among the participants are doctors, scientists, public figures, politicians, cultural and art workers, leading bloggers, representatives of the media, specialists and manufacturers in the field of healthy diet, biologically active substances, medical products, and other experts. At the plenary meeting and 11 discussion venues, a different vision of health -saving issues and healthy longevity was discussed.

As part of the forum, Tatyana Golikova examined the exhibition of food and biologically active additives of Russian production.

«Preservation of health is not only medicine. It is very important to provide people with full-fledged foods balanced in nutrients, proven biologically active additives that make up for the deficiency of beneficial substances in the body, ”said Deputy Prime Minister.
