The Presidential Executive Order of 7 May 2018 ‘On National Goals and Strategic Objectives of the Russian Federation through to 2024’ also defines the critical areas of activity in implementing these strategies. Rector of the Higher School of Healthcare Organization and Management (VSHOUZ), Guzel Ulumbekova, MD announced the basic proposals for the implementation of federal programmes.
