Tatarstan is interested in China’s experience in developing a long-term care insurance system. This was announced by Elmira Zaripova, Minister of Labor, Employment, and Social Protection of the Republic of Tatarstan, at the 4th International Forum “SPROUTS: Russia and China – Mutually Beneficial Cooperation” in Kazan.
“The active longevity systems of both Russia and China have much in common. First and foremost, this is the development of public initiatives, government structures, and institutions of mutual assistance and support. A long-term care insurance system is developing in China. This is certainly something of interest to us today and a promising direction, as we see that we share the same demographic trends,” she stated.
“There is a standard long-term care system that outlines how it should look: how and where a person receives care, where their need for care should be identified, and so on,” said Vadim Samorodov, Head of the Public Projects Department of the Russian Research and Clinical Center of Gerontology at the Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University of the Russian Ministry of Health.
“China is a very large country, here, the system works differently depending on the place: large cities have taken the lead, with the districts housing thousands of people, providing the highest level of care. The long-term care insurance system greatly facilitates access to care. This is precisely the issue that is important and relevant for us now, the one we need to consider and look the China’s experience to adopt,” he said.
“Tatarstan actively participates in projects aimed at supporting the elderly and single citizens,” said Elizaveta Oleskina, Director of the Charitable Foundation for Assistance to the Elderly and Disabled “The Joy of Old Age”.
“We do not have a single project where Tatarstan would not actively participate. It collaborates with us on all projects aimed at supporting people, their mental health and physical strength, protecting them from loneliness, and restoring and maintaining their desire for an active life,” the Foundation’s Director said.
The “Moscow Longevity” project is being implemented in order to support the older generation, said Levon Avsharyan, Head of the Department of Longevity Strategy and Special Projects at the Moscow Department of Labor and Social Protection. He explained that it was implemented as a social and cultural element.
“Many associate social services with assistance, but we enable people to choose the right lifestyle trajectory,” said Levon Avsharyan.
“In Moscow, all levels and structures of the executive branch are involved in supporting the older generation: social, cultural, educational, and medical ones,” said Emin Damirchiev, Director of the City Social Inspectorate.
“They participate in the lives of city residents and do everything possible to make their lives more comfortable,” he said.
