A working meeting was held in Bishkek between Damir Osmonov, Minister of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic, and representatives of the Russian Federation. Following the meeting, the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic and VTB Medicine signed a Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation.
The Memorandum sets out the development of cooperation in the fields of medical care, medical education, training and advanced training of medical personnel, the introduction of modern medical technologies, the digitalisation of healthcare, telemedicine, and medical tourism. The document was signed by Damir Osmonov, Minister of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic, and Sergey Nechaev, General Director of VTB Medicine.
VTB Medicine will act as a single operator for organising high-tech treatment in leading public and private clinics in Russia, and together with the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic will create a platform for obtaining second medical opinions on diagnoses, with leading physicians from Kyrgyzstan and Russia serving as experts. Working expert groups will be established to facilitate the exchange of best practices in various medical specialities between Russian and Kyrgyz doctors. In addition, JSC VTB Medicine will develop bundled tourism offers for its clients from Russia for sanatorium-based treatment at health resorts in the Kyrgyz Republic on the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul.
“Partnership with the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic allows us to combine the strengths of our healthcare systems. Russian clinics and doctors are ready to share their experience and technologies, while VTB Medicine will take on the role of an operator that makes these opportunities accessible to patients and doctors in both countries,” said Sergey Nechaev, General Director of VTB Medicine.
