| Summary/Abstract |
OCTOBER 2017 will mark 15 years since Russia joined the World Medical Association (WMA). Our country joined the most influential international medical organization in 2002 at the 53rd WMA General Assembly in Washington, and coincidentally, 15 years after that event, the 68th WMA General Assembly will also take place in the U.S. (Chicago), in October. Despite the sanctions, the 66th WMA General Assembly was held in Moscow in October 2015 with great success. Supported by the Russian Foreign Ministry, the Russian Health Ministry, the Academy of Sciences, the Russian Federal Antimonopoly Service and other agencies, it was attended by over 100 countries, including the U.S., Canada, the UK, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany, Israel, Brazil, India, China and South Africa, among many others. However, very little is known in Russia about this international medical organization that formulates an international medical agenda in regard primarily to issue of ethics and law.

| Summary/Abstract |
In a recent article in Science & Diplomacy, Daryl Copeland wrote, “Science diplomacy is relevant, effective, and potentially transformational.”1 Indeed, international cooperative science works if there is opportunity, supportive science, and a mutual commitment to overcome barriers. This paper describes how two specialty medical societies recognized an unprecedented opportunity to shed light on a scientific enigma through shared initiatives.
