Lake in Yamalo Nenets Autonomous Okrug, Russia

SM Pilyasov

«People who go to the North, to the Arctic with a glint in their eyes, with the energy of youth, with optimism, with a culture of optimism, they are certainly more successful than their peers who stay. Because career opportunities in the North, in the Arctic, are many times greater. This was the case in Soviet times, and it remains the case today».

The Administration of the Nenets Autonomous Okrug invites you to take part in the IV International Scientific and Practical Conference “Arctic Telemedicine”

which will be held on November 26, 2020 as an online event

 

 

Background

Telemedicine is based on the use of digital technologies for providing medical care at a distance and for remote doctor-doctor or doctor-patient communications. The capabilities of telemedicine are well known and have been developing for a long time. Telemedicine, regardless of the territory of use, makes it possible to expand the list of available healthcare services for the population in remote regions, including the Arctic, to provide remote consultations in non-urgent situations, to conduct online case-conferences and much more. In Russia the introduction of telemedicine is one of the priorities of the National Healthcare Project.

During the global pandemic of infection caused by the SARS-CoV-19 virus, everyone felt the need for medical assistance using remote technologies. The infection spread became a challenge for health systems around the world. The pandemic forced to look at telemedicine from a new perspective and to promote its development around the world.
