The overhaul is carried out in 52 polyclinic buildings in Kazan

(KZN.RU, September 27, Alsu Safina). Today, the deputies at the XX session of the Kazan City Duma discussed the modernization of the primary health care and the further implementation of the project “Friendly polyclinic”.

Ilnur Khalfiev, the head of the Health Department in Kazan of the Ministry of Health of the RT, reported that today 91 medical institutions in the city, including 38 non-state forms of ownership participate in the implementation of the Program of state guarantees of free medical care in the territory of the RT. More than 13 thousand people work in healthcare facilities subordinate to the Health Department, more than 3000 of whom are doctors and more than 6000 are nurses.

Over a year, the polyclinics of the city recorded more than 7 million visits, more than 124 thousand hospitalizations in a 24-hour in-patient department and 37 thousand in a day hospital, and about 390 thousand calls for emergency medical care.

Ilnur Khalfiev reminded about the two-year republican program of the overhaul of the primary care medical facilities. At the moment, the overhaul is being carried out at 52 public health facilities, and work is also being done to design the construction of a trauma center in the Privolzhsky and Sovetsky districts at the territory of the city hospital №18. 1 billion 348.5 million rubles was allocated from the budget of the republic.

The Mayor of Kazan thanked the Government of the RT and Rustam Minnikhanov, the President of the Republic, for the overhaul program. The head of the city noted that many social programs are being implemented in Kazan: programs for the elimination of dilapidated housing, social mortgages, the overhaul of schools, and the construction of kindergartens. But the program for overhauling polyclinics is particularly notable for its scale: 80% of Kazan citizens go to the primary network for medical care.

I. Khalfiev also spoke about the enlargement of a number of medical institutions. So, the children of the village of Derbyshki, who are served in the city polyclinic №8, will be registered to the children's city polyclinic №6. “This will give new opportunities in terms of medical care”, he said.

Deputy Marat Kagarmanov asked whether the principle of accessibility of medical care for residents of Derbyshki would not be violated in this case. Deputy Fadbir Safin also asked a similar question about the merger of the city polyclinic №3 in the Mirny settlement with the clinic of the medical university. Ilnur Khalfiev said that the population's service will be preserved by the local-territorial principle. Meetings were held with the population of the settlements, during which the residents received all the answers to their questions.

“People will keep going to their local doctor and specialists who worked in polyclinics near their house”, said the speaker. “But advisory and diagnostic service will be improved”.

In addition to the above-mentioned polyclinics, the changes will affect the city hospital №16, which joins the veterans of wars hospital, as well as a number of other medical institutions.

Deputy Albina Kiyamova raised the question that city hospitals require overhauling. I. Khalfiev noted that there is a desire to put all the health facilities in the city in order, and this work is underway. As an example, he brought the city hospital №18, where the surgery room has been fully reconstructed, the modernization of the resuscitation unit is being continued, a project for the reconstruction of the city hospital as a whole with the construction of a reception and diagnostic department, and the opening of the vascular center.

Deputy Rustam Ramazanov raised the issue of transport accessibility of medical institutions, including in remote villages. Denis Kalinkin, the head of the Executive Committee, reminded that a new route network of urban public transport is being developed in Kazan together with the Scientific Research Institute of Motor Transport (OAO “NIIAT”). And city residents can send their proposals.

Particular attention was paid to the project “Friendly polyclinic is Tatarstan standard”, which was developed on behalf of the President of the RT to improve the accessibility and quality of primary health care to the population.

“There is no doubt that the overhaul will be done. We monitor the implementation of this program on a weekly basis, but filling new clinics with new content is an equally difficult and responsible task”, said I. Metshin.

The head of the Health Department reminded that the project “Friendly polyclinic” was implemented in the city polyclinic №18 in the pilot mode. Since October this year, the republican project “Friendly polyclinic” will be gradually introduced in all polyclinics in Kazan. The number of patients admitted here has increased by 20%, and the availability of the record has increased by 30% during the time in the pilot mode.

As a result of the discussion, the deputies decided to apply to the Ministry of Health of the RT with a request to take measures to improve the system of providing primary health and hospital care to the Kazan population. In addition, the deputies instructed the Executive Committee to take priority measures for creating conditions for rendering medical assistance to the population in terms of ensuring transport accessibility of health facilities, improvement of adjacent territories, the inclusion of multi-apartment buildings, in which public health institutions are located, and an overhaul program.

The Standing Committee on Health Protection of Citizens and the Environment is ordered to monitor the implementation of these tasks.
