Millions of people get sick with influenza and other acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) every year. Up to 80% of the population suffers from these infections every year. The most severe forms of influenza and ARVI are observed, primarily in pregnant women and children under one year old. These infections cause enormous damage to the health of the population and sometimes lead to serious complications. Hundreds of people die from influenza and its accompanying complications every year, due to the high level of variability in the antigenic structure of viruses. Annual epidemic outbreaks of influenza are explained precisely by the high level of variability of the virus. One of the main criteria for the quality of the organization of the work of medical institutions and the health care system as a whole is – infant and maternal mortality and the reduction of their indicators is the main goal of all medical organizations.
At the end of the seminar, the participants were able to ask the experts their questions and get comprehensive answers.[/vc_column_text]
