CrimeaPRESS reports:
About four thousand units of equipment and medical furniture appeared in Sevastopol during the implementation of the regional program «Modernization of primary health care» and as part of the achievement of key indicators of the national project «Health». Medical institutions have purchased endoscopic equipment, ultrasound diagnostic devices, X-ray machines, computed tomographs, mammographs, spirographs and much more.
High-quality and timely diagnosis of diseases is impossible without modern high-precision equipment. The supply of new medical equipment has made it possible to increase the availability of research and reduce the waiting time for diagnostics , — Vitaly Denisov, director of the Sevastopol Health Department, quotes the press service of the Government of Sevastopol.
Also, as part of the implementation of the regional program «Modernization of Primary Health Care», residents of the city can borrow a blood pressure monitor free of charge. The service is available for patients with hypertension who are registered or who are dealing with this problem for the first time.
Together with the tonometer, the patient is given a “Health Diary”, in which he records his pressure readings. After two or three weeks, he comes to the doctor for a second appointment, and the doctor, analyzing the indications, can prescribe or adjust the treatment. Thus, not only the primary care physician has the opportunity to monitor patients suffering from hypertension, but the patient himself can monitor the dynamics of his condition , — says the deputy chief physician for the outpatient department of the city hospital No. N. I. Pirogova Elena Shamray.
Since the beginning of the year, more than 300 patients have used this service.
Recall that a large-scale program for the modernization of the primary health care system is designed to ensure the availability and quality of primary health care by strengthening the material and technical base in medical institutions and solving the problem of a shortage of medical personnel.
