Vladimir Putin made a video message to the participants in Russian conference "Pediatric Oncology, Hematology and Immunology in the 21st Century: From Science to Practice", which is taking place at the Dima Rogachev Center.
This is one of the world’s largest paediatric oncology and haematology clinics.
For Putin, this is a personal story, because his meeting with Dima Rogachev and a team of amazingly caring doctors in August 2005 determined the immediate decision to create a clinic for children with cancer.
The President stressed that in recent years the entire system of care for children with cancer and hematological diseases has been dramatically improved, greatly expanded the use of advanced technologies in the center.
Russian specialists restore the health of nearly 80 percent of their small oncology and haematology patients, and the figure is as high as 90 percent for certain other diseases. This is a great and very important achievement, which the UN and the World Health Organisation have taken note of.
Putin thanked pediatricians for their dedicated work and sensitive attitude towards children and wished them fruitful work.
