November 22–23, 2018 in Naryan-Mar, NAO
Background
The Arctic territories have a number of features influencing the conditions and quality of medical services provided to the population: considerable remoteness of localities and absence of mature transport infrastructure, expensive air ambulance and its dependence on harsh climate conditions, as well as shortage of medical specialists. Implementation of information technologies and telemedicine in everyday practice of medical aid provision can improve the quality of life and labor conditions in the Far North.
The amendments to the federal laws related to the use of information technologies in healthcare became effective in January 2018. Among others, these amendments have created a legal framework for using telemedicine.
