Two centers for monitoring patients after transplantation have been opened in Moscow.

Two new centers for monitoring patients after organ transplantation have opened in Moscow — at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Surgery and the A.S. Loginov International Scientific Research Center. This was announced by Mayor Sergei Sobyanin in his channel in the MAX.

According to him, in these centers, patients who have undergone heart, lung, liver, pancreas and small intestine transplants receive lifelong medical care. People who have had kidney transplants are traditionally observed in the nephrological centers of the city — MMNCC im. Botkin and the Hospital 52.

The centers employ gastroenterologists, cardiologists, pulmonologists, surgeons, nephrologists and other specialists.

More than 6 thousand people with transplanted organs live in Moscow. Sobyanin stressed that the capital was one of the five world leaders in terms of the availability of organ transplantation operations. Over the past five years, the number of such operations has increased by 73%.

In September, Sobyanin announced that by 2030, Moscow would complete the formation of a new framework for inpatient care. As part of the program, it is planned to build 11 new hospital buildings and reconstruct 43 more. According to the mayor of the capital, the city authorities began a large-scale modernization of the capital's hospitals in 2010. During this time, significant results have been achieved: the volume of high-tech medical care has increased almost sixfold, and almost 80% of surgical interventions are performed using minimally invasive methods, which has significantly reduced the recovery time of patients.

Several large multifunctional medical complexes have also started operating in Moscow, including the MMCC "Kommunarka", the Infectious Diseases Clinical Hospital No. 1, and the MSCC named after Loginov, the new multidisciplinary complex of the St. Vladimir State Clinical Hospital, the traumatological and Orthopedic building of the State Clinical Hospital No. 31 named after Academician Savelyeva.
