“Traumatology and orthopedics is one of those medical industries where only joint efforts of doctors, scientists, and industry representatives will ensure improvement of the medical care system, improve the quality and safety of medical devices, the people’s satisfaction with the availability and quality of medical services. That is why the key sections of the Business Forum will be dedicated to the establishment of a competitive domestic industry to produce medical devices for traumatology and orthopedics: development of new materials and technologies, implementation of the best solutions into the everyday clinical practice, economic and legal issues of the industry development, possible financial support measures for training and education activities of the Russian manufacturers”, noted Victor Spektor, Head of the EOF Business Agenda, General Director of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Central Institute of Traumatology and Orthopaedics (“CITO”).

register of medical devices, developing and implementing new technologies for implant production, testing and standardization.

The participants will discuss the key orthotic methods and clinical results achieved, specifics of orthotics application in children, mechanisms of ensuring continuity of the rehabilitation process, development of the standards for inclusion of orthotics and rehabilitation programs in the compulsory health insurance system.
