The President visited new medical centers

Two large medical centers have been built in the Yashnabad district of the capital – the National Medical Center and the Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Center for Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Diseases.

The head of our state got acquainted with their construction in November 2020 and, following the visit, gave instructions on expanding the capabilities of the centers. The practical implementation of these tasks was the emergence of modern conditions and the introduction of advanced working methods.

The territory of the medical complex is more than four hectares. Seven buildings with a total area of one and a half thousand square meters were built. Advanced foreign experience was used in construction and equipment.

The National Medical Center is distinguished by its versatility. Departments of surgery, urology, transplantology, traumatology and orthopedics, gynecology, cardiac surgery, nephrology, cardiology, endocrinology, cardiorheumatology, dentistry and others have been organized. In total, more than a thousand units of 169 types of modern medical equipment have been installed.

The center is designed for five hundred beds. More than 200 types of care will be provided in outpatient and inpatient settings. The center has the capacity to perform over three thousand high-tech surgical operations per year, including coronary artery bypass grafting, aesthetic plastic surgery, arthroplasty, organ and tissue transplantation. It is important that the center is able to carry out remote diagnostics and treatment of patients in remote areas.

The institution cooperates with leading clinics in countries such as Germany, Turkey, South Korea. The staff - 250 doctors and 500 medical workers - consists of foreign doctors and domestic specialists who have improved their qualifications abroad.

This is the first center with such capabilities in our country. It will be assigned to multidisciplinary clinics operating in Karakalpakstan and the regions.

The President also visited the Republican Specialized Center for Otorhinolaryngology and Diseases of the Head and Neck, which was opened as part of the complex.

The new center, along with medical work, will coordinate the otorhinolaryngological service in the country. Scientific laboratories "Physiology and pathology of upper respiratory tract organs", "Physiology and pathology of hearing and balance organs", "Phoniatry and ronchopathy" have been created here. A simulation and practical laboratory, 5 surgical departments and 60 beds were equipped with modern medical equipment.

The Head of State got acquainted with the conditions in the centers, talked with doctors. In an interview with the responsible persons of the sphere, instructions were given on the organization of a foreign medical institute near the center, professional development of personnel, expansion of disease prevention.
