The Moscow City Competition Policy Department (Tender Committee) heartily welcomes the exhibitors, organizers and visitors to the Zdravookhraneniye International Exhibition!

This edition of Zdravookhraneniye is held at a difficult time for the Russian economy, which makes this event even more significant. The exhibition gains particular importance during a season of infections, which have recently been encompassing unusually large areas. It is in this connection that the demonstration of advanced technologies and effective antiviral drugs becomes very important.

Zdravookhraneniye’2009 is a key meeting place for the government officials, the manufacturers of medical equipment and products, practitioners and businessmen - for all who is involved in implementation of the Zdorovye (Health) National Priority Project.

It is here that professionals will be able to view the latest advances in medicine and pharmacy. The rich programme of scientific and business event is worthy of particular notice. It offers professionals an opportunity to gain new contacts and share the information on the state-of-the-art achievements in healthcare.

The exhibition certainly plays an important social role, as there is no strong state without a healthy population.

I wish all the participants health, fruitful work, courage and creativity.
