The maternity hospital building in Khimmash will be transferred to the oncology center.
The maternity hospital building at Khimmash, located on Dagestanskaya Street, will be handed over to the regional oncology dispensary. The transfer of the building will take place at the end of December, the head of the Sverdlovsk Ministry of Health Tatyana Savinova said live on the program "Open Dialogue."
According to Savinova, a new oncology dispensary is needed due to a rise in cancer incidence.
"Over 25 years incidence has doubled, while detection of diseases at early stages has also doubled. When we detect a patient at an early stage, we can operate; this radically allows us to rid the patient of a malignant tumor," Ura.Ru quoted Savinova as saying.
She added that while at the start of the center on Soboleva there were 5,000 operations a year, now there are 23,000, and the number of patients over the first nine months of the current year reached 57,000.
Three surgical departments will be set up in the building on Dagestanskaya: gynecology, oncology (mammology — breast pathology) and abdominal surgery (tumors of the abdominal cavity). Each department will have 45 beds. High-tech equipment (a CT scanner and a mammograph) will be installed in the building, repairs will be carried out and internal logistics issues will be resolved — two elevators will be replaced.
Recall that in October information appeared that the maternity hospital at Khimmash was to be closed for repairs. At that time healthcare workers were outraged by rumors of the maternity hospital's imminent closure.
