Vladimir Kilinkarov was a PPP expert during the discussion: RUSSIA'S HEALTHCARE SYSTEM: IN NEED OF MODERNISATION

On the 25th of September a meeting of medical, pharmaceuticals and legal experts aimed to discuss topical issues on the healthcare system modernisation took place in MEDEM clinic.

The discussion organized by PH Kommersant started out from the current political and economic realities: the fundamental issue discussed by the participants was an impact of international sanctions against Russia on further development of the healthcare system and pharmaceutical industry.   

The experts concurred that one of top targets of today's healthcare system is building of a proper infrastructure.   

Vladimir Kilinkarov, the head of Maxima Legal PPP practice, commented on the possibility to engage private business in funding the foregoing target:  
"According to the study made by the Ministry of Healthcare of Russia, to a have a new healthcare infrastructure created or to make a capital repair of and upgrade the obsoleted infrastructure one should spend over 2 trillion roubles today. With current funding pace it would take about 80-100 years. This infrastructure cannot, evidently, be developed without private funds and PPP tools within a short time, and regulatory drawbacks in this area just aggravate the situation".
