"In Kazakhstan, research on HIV and TB is of great interest. Young scientists are actively involved in this process, representing our country on the world stage. Practical health care also awaits the results of research, since they can improve the quality of services provided. EECA Interact is a unique platform for discussions. As a result - activities are born that can improve the medical care of HIV patients in our region. The seminar allows us to identify the strengths and weaknesses of our work, share experience and outline prospects.

Aida Karaulova director of the city AIDS prevention and control center Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan)

"EECA INTERACT is a great opportunity to find out what is happening in the region. Without going outside the country, it is always very difficult to see and correctly evaluate new trends. During these 2 days I received a lot of interesting information, including practical methods from colleagues, which are applicable to us, the experience of colleagues from European countries. Of course, we compared two different health systems - European and ours and that allowed me and my colleagues from the region to take over the experience. For sure, EECA INTERACT is an excellent platform for exploring new opportunities!

Alexei Alexandrov a member of the international committee of EECA INTERACT 2019, head of Minsk regional clinical centre “Psychiatry-narcology” (Belarus)

"For me, EECA INTERACT is not only a meeting with new colleagues and getting acquainted with the results of their work, discussing pressing issues, forming direct contacts to continue cooperation or a network of interaction. The seminar is a continuation of the efforts that we, experts of the EECA countries, are directing to respond to the HIV epidemic in the region, implementation of those innovations that have already been tested in the world and are evidence-based.
The workshop is a step towards the development of a unified scientific, expert and practical community of our countries, united by common tasks. Everyone can have their own vision of the situation, challenges and solutions, but only joint discussion and analysis will allow finding potential points of influence for success.

"A lot of people were interested in this event. The number of applicants was much more than we could accept. Such kind of event was held for the first time in Kazakhstan, so it is obvious that its relevance is ripe. Unfortunately, there are not many scientific events taking place in the EECA region today. The only opportunity for scientists to show their research is international events, but English is a serious barrier here. Therefore, EECA Interact has become a truly unique platform, as it provided a unique opportunity for specialists to show the results of their research and obtain information on world standards.
