Abstract

The article examines  the main directions  of international  cooperation in the field of healthcare of  the  EAEU  member-states  in  the  pandemic  era.  Joint  efforts  aimed  at  stabilization  of  the  sanitary  and epidemiological  situation and minimization of the economic  damage provoked by  the restrictions  imposed  were  prompt  and  proved  their  efficiency  and  efficacy.  The  study  focuses  on  the  mobility  of  medical  personnel  during the pandemic. The authors  indicate possible  prospects  for  further  expansion  of Eurasian  cooperation  in  the  field  of  healthcare.  In  the  context  of  a  changing  environment,  the  interactions  of  medical  professionals,  experience  and  knowledge  exchange  become  vital.  In  particular,  a  number  of documents  were adopted that define a set  of measures  aimed at reducing the risks  of the spread of coronavirus  infection in the EAEU countries. From  our  point of  view, it is  very  important that these measures  also included economic  mechanisms  to  reduce the barriers  to entry  of the  participating countries  into  the  joint  EAEU  market.  These  barriers  currently  include,  for  example,  different  approaches  to drug  pricing.  The  work  also  shows  that  one  of  the  promising  areas  of  interstate  cooperation  within  the framework  of  the  integration  group  can  be  the  expansion  of  field  training  programs  for  specialists  from the participating countries  in the most demanded  areas  of training.
