Health care

Municipal medicine has made a noticeable step forward in improving the treatment and diagnostic process, strengthening the material and technical base, equipping with medical apparatus, introducing new forms of work and best practices, and implementing new methods of diagnosis and treatment.

In modern conditions, the most effective was the formula combining funds from the state, the executive committee, sponsors and citizens, with which reconstructions and repairs and equipment of healthcare facilities were carried out.

3466.75 people work in the city's medical institutions. The average salary per employee in the sector is UAH 247.07.

The charitable organization "Municipal Hospital Fund" is successfully operating, which, on the basis of current legislation, ensures the receipt of extra-budgetary funds in medical institutions. In 2003, 19,251 thousand patients were treated in inpatient hospital institutions, and 183 thousand citizens in polyclinics. 21,111 births were delivered in the maternity hospital. Almost 46.5 thousand calls were handled by ambulance station teams.

After major repairs and reconstruction of the obstetric building of the maternity clinical hospital, optimal conditions have been created for mother and newborn to stay together, and family members have been ensured the opportunity to be present during childbirth.

The conditions for patients and staff have been improved in the maternity clinical hospital and the city clinical hospital.

Work is actively underway to introduce modern effective methods for diagnosing and treating diseases and to implement scientific innovations. All healthcare institutions have passed state accreditation and received the corresponding certificate.

In the city's polyclinics, work continues to expand the number of therapeutic districts on the family doctor model. 2 family medicine departments and a family outpatient clinic have been organized. Family doctor offices have been equipped.
