The main reconstruction and construction of city outpatient clinics in the capital has been completed. The next stage is the construction of new hospitals and buildings. By 2030, all of the capital's hospitals will either be reconstructed or built anew. Sergei Sobyanin announced this live on TV Center and Moscow 24.
"The next major changes are the construction of new hospitals and inpatient facilities. To put this into perspective, while our outpatient clinics receive 100 million visits, up to 1.5 million Muscovites are hospitalized. These aren't always surgeries, but they are nonetheless a serious approach, requiring a high-tech approach, diagnostics, highly complex care, minimally invasive surgeries, and so on. This is an even more complex task than renovating outpatient clinics," the Moscow Mayor noted.
Sergei Sobyanin added that the capital has fewer hospitals than outpatient clinics, but they are all large and powerful, boasting high-tech facilities. Several major hospitals or facilities are commissioned in the city every year. Currently, work is underway to create a new hospital for the renowned N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Care. Construction of the new buildings for Moscow City Oncology Hospital No. 62 is nearing completion. Additionally, a new building for the Moscow Clinical Research Center of Hospital No. 52 is under construction.
"By 2030, we want all our hospitals to be either reconstructed or built anew. That is, a fully modern framework consisting of outpatient and inpatient services," Sergei Sobyanin clarified.
The Moscow mayor emphasized that this is a mega-task, as it involves hundreds and hundreds of thousands of square meters of modern buildings, new technologies, doctor training, and the digitalization of medicine.
Work on modernizing outpatient clinics will also continue, and attention must be paid to doctors' attitudes and patient-centeredness, their effectiveness, and the accuracy of their diagnoses. "There's still a lot of work to do there. And, of course, we're working on it on a daily basis," said Sergei Sobyanin.
The elderly population of Muscovites is growing—the average life expectancy in the capital has approached 80 years. At the same time, demand for healthcare is also growing.
"The life expectancy of Muscovites has approached 80 years, a level never seen before in history. We've actually approached European levels, despite the huge influx of people from all over the country coming to Moscow, but it's still that level. This is precisely what's driving the growth of our elderly population, which means a growing demand for healthcare, both inpatient and outpatient care. So, we have a lot of work to do in this area, but we consider it one of our top priorities," added Sergei Sobyanin.
The Moscow Mayor noted the high level of public healthcare in the capital. "I'm not talking about some exclusive clinics, but public healthcare is already world-class, and we must not only maintain this level but also move forward," concluded Sergei Sobyanin.
