On June 2, 2025, AZIMUT Scientific and Production Corporation took part in a meeting between the President of the Russian Society of Surgeons, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences A.V. Shabunin and the heads of Russian companies manufacturing equipment and instruments for endoscopic surgery (Moscow).
The meeting was held as part of the further implementation of the Program for the Development of Minimally Invasive Surgery in Russia, adopted by the Russian Society of Surgeons in 2023. The first step in implementing the Program was a general increase in tariffs from January 2023 for laparoscopic surgeries, which has already led to a more than 30 percent increase in the use of modern surgical treatment technologies in the country. A frank conversation about the real needs of Russian surgeons in the use of laparoscopic technologies and the needs of domestic equipment manufacturers gave an understanding of how an authoritative all-Russian professional community can contribute to the development of the domestic medical industry. A joint working group has been formed to develop specific steps. There is a lot of work ahead, the results of which will be reported at the Congress of Russian Surgeons within the framework of the section “Technological Sovereignty of Russian Surgery”.
