The main objective of the round table “Radical improvement of public health — an essential condition of the Russian society and economy modernization” is deeper understanding of the health systems impact on the state of population health and critical analysis of the latest evidence on effective strategies for improving health systems functioning with regard to increasing demands to ensure their sustainability and the principle of solidarity.

For many decades in the public health of economically developed countries and the Russian Federation main organizational efforts were aimed at creating the optimal structure of the industry, rather than at management of health care processes.
