Medicine in Mariupol is continuing to develop rapidly. Major repairs are carried out. Modern equipment appears and outpatient clinics are being built. Mayor Vadim Boichenko came to check the progress of repair works in the city hospital №1.
In a medical facility, the building is being reconstructed for the installation of a computer tomograph. The roof was last repaired about thirty years ago. Almost UAH 3 million was allocated from the city budget for work.Now they are changing metal slate to metal tile. The building itself is prepared for insulation.
The medical director of the hospital, Natalia Martynova, showing the surgical building, said that it serves patients from all over the city. In 2018, almost 15 thousand people were hospitalized and about 5 thousand operations were performed. She added that the new computed tomography scanner is unique not only for our city, but also for the whole of Ukraine. Now the necessary studies can be carried out in Mariupol. You will not need to go to Zaporozhye or Kiev. The cost of the device is one million dollars.
‘In one diagnostic session, the tomograph makes 128 slices. The doctor will be able to make the correct diagnosis in time,’ Natalia Martynova said.
Also, Vadim Boichenko visited the outpatient clinic on the territory of the Primary Health Care Center No. 1 and 196 on Metallurgov Avenue. More than UAH 10 million was allocated for their reconstruction. In the outpatient departments there will be children's areas, modern registries and equipped with all the necessary rooms of family doctors.
Vadim Boichenko emphasized that today medicine is in the center of attention of the municipality.
