"Personalized approach to each patient has become a reality. Our task is to develop using this approach to other areas of medicine. We consider Personalized Medicine not only as omix technologies, but also as big data medicine. The introduction of medical solutions based on big data and processed by artificial intelligence is the future of medicine where we already live." 

Prof. Victor Fomin, Vice-rector for Research and Healthcare, Co-chairman of the round table "Management of healthcare quality and safety in medical organizations", told:
"We all have one main goal: to develop our medical organizations so that the quality management systems will be carried out automatically. It is necessary to develop infrastructure in accordance with the new requirements. Otherwise, we will not ensure quality of medical services by making the correct diagnosis, if patients feel uncomfortable in a medical institution. Only creation of a quality management system will allow us to upgrade the level of provided medical care."

We are glad that Sechenov University opens your doors to us, shows interest in international cooperation, and we can contribute to its development", — concluded Beatrice G.
