The progress of construction work of the new perinatal center was inspected by Ilsur Metshin
In 2024, a perinatal center will open at Hospital No. 7. As of today, construction and installation work at the site has been completed, and heavy medical equipment is being installed.
In a seven-story building with an area of more than 20 thousand sq.m. There will be a reception and consultation and diagnostic department, an antenatal fetal care center, a 24-hour obstetric hospital and a neonatology hospital, laboratories and diagnostic units. And the gynecological department will accept pregnant women up to 22 weeks with a high risk group.
The new medical facility has a 24-hour obstetric hospital with a capacity of 80 beds and includes four operating rooms, one of which will be able to perform X-ray surgery and fetal surgery. There are also six individual maternity rooms. The neonatology hospital with 40 beds has a physiotherapy unit and a follow-up room. Another 22 beds will be installed in the anesthesiology and intensive care unit, and 25 in the neonatal intensive care unit.
The medical facility, where it is planned to accommodate up to 8 thousand births per year, will become one of the largest obstetric centers in the Volga region, mastering fetal surgery technologies. Thanks to modern equipment, it will be able to provide high-tech care to women throughout the entire pregnancy, including those with a high risk of complications, as well as perform intrauterine fetal surgeries.
Work in the perinatal center will be built on a closed cycle, that is, it will be possible to receive all the necessary medical care throughout the entire period of pregnancy. Thus, one block with operating rooms will be intended for women with a high level of risk. The second block is for low-risk mothers. The antenatal clinic will be located in the third block. Their close location makes it possible to immediately respond to emerging difficulties.
In addition, children born prematurely will be able to be cared for in the new perinatal center - they will not need to be transported to the Republican Children's Hospital or to Children's Hospital No. 1.
“We have come a long way over the past 15 years. If earlier we were happy about major renovations and the creation of decent conditions for women in labor, now we are discussing world-class technologies that have come to Kazan. Thanks to Rais of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov for creating such conditions. The numbers speak for themselves - 50% of all births in the republic take place in Kazan. High technologies inspire confidence that an increasing number of married couples will decide on a second, third and fourth child,” noted Ilsur Metshin.
