First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov visited the Era military technopolis and held a strategic session, the key topic of which was the innovative development of military medicine in modern conditions.
The event was attended by Deputy Minister of Defense Vasily Osmakov, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Ekaterina Priezzheva, Deputy Minister of Health Tatyana Semenova, representatives of military command bodies, defense industry enterprises, and research centers.
The meeting participants discussed areas for developing medical support for special operations participants and the capabilities of Russian industry to meet the needs of the Russian Armed Forces' medical service. Particular attention was given to implementing priority measures to provide medical support for special military operations participants and introducing innovative developments.
"The Ministry of Defense is systematically working to provide necessary assistance to wounded service members. Thanks to this comprehensive approach, we are currently able to return over 95% of wounded soldiers to duty. This is largely due to our well-coordinated efforts to ensure their timely evacuation from the front lines, which is particularly challenging given the widespread use of drones," said Denis Manturov.
The main topics include the development of medical devices and technical rehabilitation equipment for the needs of special military operations, as well as the application of experience in the implementation of manufactured products for the needs of the medical service of the Russian Armed Forces.
"Things like medicine, engineering support, and logistics have no less of an impact on the effectiveness of combat operations. The topic we're discussing now is the lives of people, the lives of our soldiers. This is an important issue that requires close attention. At the exhibition and in our colleagues' presentations, we've already emphasized the full cycle of work with the wounded, from evacuation to all types of rehabilitation. This allows us to develop a systemic approach, identify failures at every stage, and formulate solutions that will improve the effectiveness of cooperation between the Ministry of Defense, industry, and our medical system," said Vasily Osmakov.
Denis Manturov noted that the Ministry of Defense's medical organizations actively use advanced technologies to improve the quality and precision of surgical interventions.
"Regarding prosthetics, we have reached a leading level in this area. Domestic developments allow us to fully restore lost functions. The most important task set by the President is to ensure the widespread adoption of prosthetic technologies for the benefit of veterans of the Central Military District. To achieve this, we must strengthen cooperation between federal agencies, specifically the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, and the Ministry of Defense," the First Deputy Prime Minister emphasized.
Denis Manturov toured an exhibition of projects from industrial enterprises and scientific organizations. Among the exhibits were military medical modules, ground-based robotic systems for medical and sanitary operations, protective clothing, medications, and medical specialist bags. Many Russian developments are unique and have no equivalents anywhere else.
