A cardiological dispensary was opened at the Lipetsk Regional Clinical Hospital. There will be received all the information about the condition of people who have suffered strokes, heart attacks, heart surgery, as well as those whose cardiovascular diseases can lead to serious complications or death.
A specialist responsible for difficult patients has been identified in each district, Lipetskmedia informs. The new cardiological dispensary will pay great attention to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. For example, algorithms have been prescribed for district doctors who can suspect cardiovascular disease in their patients at an early stage.
If necessary, cardiologists will be able to invite the patient for examination at the regional clinic. If you need high-tech help, they will send a person to a regional hospital or to a federal medical center.
Hospitals and clinics of the Lipetsk region will receive more than 111 million rubles as part of the assistance provided by the federal center. The order on additional financing of medical institutions operating under the compulsory health insurance system was signed at the end of March by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin. For these purposes, a total of more than 3.5 billion rubles were allocated from the reserve fund. This support will enable healthcare providers to offset the additional costs associated with providing care to patients with COVID-19.
