High-tech joint replacement surgeries have become more accessible at Vitebsk Regional Hospital
The opening ceremony was attended by the Deputy Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee Vyacheslav Durnov and the Deputy Head of the Main Department of Healthcare of the Regional Executive Committee Lyudmila Kovaleva.
– The work of a doctor is not easy, so the conditions in which he works, with what mood, the patient will feel first and foremost, – noted Vyacheslav Durnov. – Therefore, great attention is paid to equipping the healthcare institution with modern equipment, creating comfortable conditions for everyone – both staff and patients. New operating rooms will allow for faster surgical interventions and reduce waiting queues. This is the beginning of the path to transforming the regional hospital into a major center for providing assistance to people. The regional budget also helps this positive process, and the hospital management knows where to move forward, in particular towards such significant changes as the construction of a new building for the VRCH.
The new department is designed for 30 beds and includes both standard wards and wards of increased comfort.
To launch the new department, the operating room has been renovated and equipped with modern medical and diagnostic equipment and instruments. Orthopedic tables have been purchased. The department also has an arthroscopic system, an image intensifier (II), endoscopic equipment, instrument kits and implants for locked intramedullary osteosynthesis, installation tools for hip and knee joint replacement, and other equipment. Functional medical beds have been installed in the wards.
Concurrently with the renovation work in traumatology, other hospital departments are also being modernized: the cardiosurgical operating room has been renovated and retrofitted, and the admission department has been updated.
