Putin to hold meeting on Moscow health system modernisation
MOSCOW, February 15 (Itar-Tass) - Russian Prime Minister Vladimir
Putin will hold at the City Clinical Hospital No 1 (First Gradskaya
Hospital) on Tuesday a meeting on the Moscow healthcare system
modernisation programme, the press service of the Russian government
reported.
Regional healthcare modernisation programmes are designed to develop systemic health system reforms that were launched within the framework of the priority national project "Health." Since 2005, a sum of 590 billion roubles has been allocated on its implementation. As a result, the average life expectancy in the country increased by 3.7 years and reached 69 years, the birth rate grew by nearly 20 percent and mortality reduced by 12 percent. More than 900,000 people got high-technology medical aid at the expense of the federal budget, this kind of medical aid has become 4 times more available.
However, about 30 percent of hospitals are in need of major repair and reconstruction, 46.6 percent of the buildings have no central heating, plumbing and sewage systems. More than 112 thousand pieces of medical equipment must be replaced.
Regional healthcare modernisation programmes that start in 2011 are to settle the remaining problems. Questions of their preparation and implementation were discussed at a meeting chaired by Putin in Ivanovo on November 9, 2010. The government head then set the tasks to improve the quality and accessibility of medical care, to strengthen the material-technical base of medical institutions in regions, to furnish them with modern equipment, to improve the skills and raise wages of medical personnel, through the introduction of modern information systems to remove excess paperwork between doctor and patient, as focus on the doctor's providing aid to the patient.
About 460 billion roubles of federal funds will be allocated in
2011-2012 for the implementation of regional healthcare programmes,
including more than 48 billion roubles for the implementation of the
Moscow programme. The regions are expected to co-finance the development programmes on their own, which will significantly increase the volume of investments.
Taking part in the meeting will be Minister of Health and Social
Development Tatyana Golikova, Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the leadership of the Moscow healthcare system, chief doctors of a number of Moscow hospitals.
The Pirogov City Clinical Hospital No 1 was founded in 1802 under the will and with funds of Russia's prominent diplomat Prince Golitsyn as the Golitsyn Clinic for adults. Famous architect Matvei Kazakov was the author of the hospital buildings. In 1833, the First Gradskaya Hospital was laid down close to the Golitsyn Clinic, and in 1866 - "Temporary Hospital for typhoid patients (Second Gradskaya) was founded. Now, all three hospitals represent a single organism - a multidisciplinary medical establishment with 1,188 beds. Hospital No 1 is a clinical base for the Pirogov State Medical University, Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University (MGMU), Bauman Moscow State Technical University and medical schools. The hospital employs a unique team of medical scientists and practitioners, among them
