On February 27, an introductory meeting of the CIS Network of Institutes for Public Health and Healthcare Digital Transformation was held.

The Network of Institutes is a unique format designed to bring together expertise, potential and experience of leading healthcare institutes among the member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States, Daria Shimanovskaya, Deputy Director of the Department of International Cooperation and Public Relations of Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, noted in her welcoming speech.

“The Network of Institutes for Public Health and Healthcare Digital Transformation is not just an association, but a working body of the CIS Health Cooperation Council. As such, it is difficult to overestimate the importance of work being carried out. In particular, the Network is entrusted with the key task of preparing proposals for implementation of the Strategy “Population Health of the CIS Member States”. This is one of the key tasks that the Network needs to focus on”.

“The Network of Institutes is a unique working body of the Council not only in its areas of activity. This is the only working body that follows the principles of rotating chairmanship. In 2023, the Network of Institutes was chaired by the Kyrgyz Republic represented by Head of the National Institute of Public Health, Zharkynbek Kasymbekov. The year 2024 is the time of the Russian Federation's chairmanship”, continued Elena Shamal, Advisor to the Department of Humanitarian Cooperation, General Political and Social Problems of the CIS Executive Committee, Secretary of the CIS Health Cooperation Council.

The status of the Governing Council Chairperson is assigned to Olga Kobyakova, RIH Director.

During the introductory meeting participants discussed organizational and personnel issues, a work plan for the current year, as well as the proposals of the Governing Council members of the Network of Institutes.

The next meeting is scheduled for March 27, 2024 and will be devoted to development of the draft action plan of the Strategy “Population Health of the CIS Member States” for 2024-2025.
