The medical institution is located on an area of ​ ​ 17.5 thousand square meters. The design capacity is 650 visits per shift, of which 400 are in the adult department and 250 are in the children's department. The clinic will serve the population of the Pravoberezhye microdistrict, where over 70 thousand people live.
