Combining the system of medical check-ups, treatment and secondary prevention (medical rehabilitation and health resort treatment) will contribute to the increase in the working age of the Russian population.
This statement was made by Anatoly Fesyun, acting director of NMRC for Rehabilitation and Balneology of the Ministry of Health of Russia, Dr. Sci. (Medicine), associate professor, during his speech at the II International Euro-Asian Forum of Internal Medicine Doctors, held in Ufa.
Anatoly Fesyun presented the report "Sanatorium and spa institutions of the Russian Federation. Modern outlook", in which he noted the importance of fulfilling the task of demographic transition and increasing life expectancy of the Russian population, set by the President of the Russian Federation within the frames of the strategy of scientific and technological development of the Russian Federation.
