History

2024

Since 2011, 150 new state medical institutions have been opened in Moscow

Since 2011, 150 new state medical institutions have been opened in Moscow. This was reported in the capital's mayor's office on October 21, 2024.

In particular, the Kommunarka Moscow Multidisciplinary Clinical Center (MMCC) and the Perinatal Center of the L. A. Vorokhobov Hospital were opened.

According to the development strategy of Moscow health care until 2030, a new framework for outpatient and inpatient medical care will be formed in Moscow by the end of 2028.

Growth in healthcare costs in Moscow in 2025 by 3% to 610.7 billion rubles

Healthcare costs in Moscow in 2025 will grow by 3% to 610.7 billion rubles. This became known from the draft city budget, which the metropolitan government approved on October 11, 2024.

It was formed based on many factors, including strategic plans for the development of the economy, infrastructure and social sphere until 2030, "Sergei Sobyanin wrote on his Telegram channel, speaking about the draft city budget for 2025 and the planning period of 2026 and 2027.

Healthcare costs in Moscow in 2025 will grow by 3% to 610.7 billion rubles

As the press service of the mayor and the government of the capital clarifies, Moscow plans to allocate about 2.8 trillion rubles for the social sphere in 2025, the increase in social expenditures, taking into account the payment of medical care from the compulsory medical insurance fund, will amount to 13.8%. It is noted that the draft budget ensures the unconditional fulfillment of existing social obligations to Muscovites and an increase in support for city residents.

It is specified that more than 689 billion rubles are provided in the draft budget for 2025 for the provision of social support measures for Moscow residents in cash and in kind - additional payments to pensions, travel benefits in public transport, payment for housing and communal services, drug support and many others. In 2025, about 90% of Moscow's budget expenditures will go to the implementation of 13 state programs.

The active introduction of domestic technological developments, a decrease in dependence on the import of equipment and components, the replacement of products from unfriendly states, a high level of employment make it possible to predict its further progressive development in the next three years, the capital's mayor's office said on October 11, 2024.

Moscow allocated 2.6 billion rubles for the development of high-tech treatment methods

The Moscow government has decided to allocate ₽2,6 billion to support the development of innovative treatment methods in the capital's medical institutions. This became known on July 23, 2024 as part of the announcement of a new application campaign for special grants from the mayor of Moscow.

The funding is designed for a three-year period and is aimed at stimulating scientific activities in the field of health. The grant program, which started in 2022, has already shown its effectiveness: out of 325 announced projects, 142 received support, and 27 studies successfully completed the first stages.

The capital will invest 2.6 billion to fight diseases

Moscow Center for Innovative Technologies in Healthcare - Medtech acts as the operator of the program. The selection of projects is carried out by the Council of Chief Doctors at the Health Department of the capital Assessment criteria are novelty, relevance, compliance with advanced scientific areas, as well as the potential for rapid introduction into clinical practice.

Among the promising developments that have received support, there are methods for stabilizing the spine in degenerative diseases, the creation of a minimally invasive method for stabilizing the spine and an original implant for prosthetics. In addition, work is underway on a prototype device for the early diagnosis of bronchial asthma in children and the development of artificial intelligence-based software for the diagnosis of stroke.

It is expected that in 2024 the capital's doctors will complete another 72 projects under the grant program. This will significantly speed up the process of introducing advanced diagnostic and therapy methods into the Moscow health care system, which, in turn, will increase the quality of medical care provided and the effectiveness of doctors.^[2]

Artificial intelligence as a basic technology. Published strategy for the development of health care in Moscow until 2030

In Moscow, active work continues on the digitalization of the healthcare sector. This is primarily about the widespread introduction of artificial intelligence, which is expected to play the role of basic technology. This is stated in the strategy for the development of health care in the Russian capital until 2030. The document was released at the end of April 2024.

According to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, AI tools help polyclinic therapists in diagnosing and forming a list of necessary studies. In addition, AI is integrated into the radiation diagnostic platform: by analyzing computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI ) or X-ray images, machine vision tools recognize 37 different diseases, including lung cancer, pneumonia, osteoporosis, coronary heart disease, stroke and others. The accuracy of such diagnostics exceeds 95%. Moreover, AI often reveals pathology at the earliest possible stage, which increases the effectiveness of treatment and reduces the likelihood of complications.

AI in the strategy for the development of health care in Moscow

The introduction of digital solutions is one of the key tasks of the Moscow healthcare development strategy until 2030. The Russian capital continues to develop a single digital healthcare platform. Medical data is accumulated in one place: they are available through the network both to doctors and to patients themselves. Employees of medical institutions are provided with services such as a digital passport of the clinic, a system for supporting medical decision-making and computer vision for analyzing images. In turn, patients can use an online appointment or telemedicine service. In the future, it is expected that a significant part of simple health problems can be solved online, without a personal visit to the hospital.

Only 10-15 years ago, digitalization of healthcare was considered as an auxiliary technology for solving organizational problems - to reduce queues for doctors, establish control, restore order with documentation, and so on. All this, of course, is relevant to this day. But far from the main thing. The main thing is that modern digital technologies really save lives and radically increase the quality of treatment for people, says Sobyanin.

On the basis of AI, it is planned to create smart assistants for medical workers of various specializations. Such assistants will be able to suggest the optimal tactics for treating patients. In addition, AI will analyze patient medical records and identify the risks of diseases. With the introduction of new technologies, routine paperwork will disappear: medical information will be recorded and processed exclusively in a digital environment, and doctors will be able to devote more time to more important tasks. The key goals of the introduction of AI in the field of health care in Moscow are named:

· Complete transition of medical institutions to the digital environment;

· Refusal of paper document management;

· Implementing a smart proactive approach to identifying individual disease risks.

Speech recognition technology based on AI algorithms is being developed to fill out medical documents. The system will allow radiologists to dictate the description of the study and not waste time entering information manually. It is estimated that this approach will speed up work with protocols by more than 20%. In general, the development of AI-based services meets the goals and objectives of the national project "Healthcare" and is aimed at improving the quality and availability of medical care.^[3]

For six months, hospitals and clinics in Moscow received 220 CT and X-ray scanners, mammographs and angiographs

During the first six months of 2024, the capital's hospitals and clinics were replenished with 220 of the latest medical devices, including computed tomographs (CT), X-ray scanners, mammographs and angiographs. According to the Moscow Department of Health ( released in mid-June 2024), this supply has significantly improved the quality of diagnosis and treatment of patients in the city.

According to Rossiyskaya Gazeta, among the new equipment are modern CT and MRI scans, which allow you to obtain three-dimensional images of internal organs, significantly increasing the accuracy of diagnostics. Doctors also began using digital mammographs to detect breast cancer early, angiographs to examine vessels and perform heart surgeries, and X-ray densitometers to assess bone conditions and prevent osteoporosis.

Medical institutions in Moscow received 220 units of new diagnostic equipment in six months

According to the Department of Health, in 2023, more than 8.2 million radiation studies using new equipment were performed in Moscow. All equipment is combined into a single digital network, which allows you to effectively manage data and quickly obtain diagnostic results. According to the publication, these data are automatically uploaded to the unified radiological information service (ERIS) of EMIAS, ensuring the availability of results for doctors and patients.

In 2024, radiological studies in Moscow are analyzed in a single round-the-clock reference center, which is part of the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine of the Department of Health. Tens of thousands of studies are processed weekly in this center, which allows improving the quality and efficiency of medical care.

As noted in the Department, the introduction of digital technologies in Moscow health care has been going on for more than ten years. According to his experts, the use of computer vision in radiation diagnostics can reduce the time for research and improve the accuracy of diagnoses, which ultimately leads to more effective treatment.^[4]

How Moscow managed to increase the number of blood clots removal operations 30 times in 8 years

For the period from 2016 to 2024, metropolitan doctors managed to increase the number of operations to remove blood clots with ischemic stroke more than 30 times. This became known at the end of spring 2024.

According to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development Anastasia Rakova, in 2023, doctors performed about 2 thousand thromboextraction operations. Such a significant increase in the number of procedures was made possible by the creation of a single network of hospitals, which ensures the prompt exchange of information between medical institutions.

For the period from 2016 to 2024, metropolitan doctors managed to increase the number of operations to remove blood clots with ischemic stroke more than 30 times

A key factor in success was the creation in 2013 of a heart attack network, on the basis of which a stroke network was formed in 2017. This system allows doctors to receive real-time data on the availability of free operating rooms and neuroranimation beds in city hospitals.

An important achievement was the reduction in the time between the patient's admission to the hospital and the start of specialized treatment. Currently, in most cases, emergency surgery begins 40 minutes after the patient arrives at the medical facility.

To improve the efficiency of care, the capital's hospitals are equipped with modern high-tech equipment, including angiographs, computer and magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound diagnostic systems and endoscopic equipment.

Particular attention is paid to the prevention and subsequent treatment of patients who have suffered vascular disasters. To Moscow The program of free drug provision for three groups of patients with cardiovascular diseases: those who have undergone acute, myocardial infarction suffer from atrial fibrillation arrhythmia and have high levels of cholesterol in the blood.

After a stroke, patients undergo comprehensive rehabilitation, starting from the intensive care unit and ending with outpatient observation. In the polyclinics of the city, a program of proactive dynamic dispensary observation has been introduced to monitor the condition of patients and prevent repeated strokes.^[5]

Moscow clinics have received a unique technology that speeds up MRI of pregnant women and makes it more accurate

Moscow medical institutions have received at their disposal an innovative technology that significantly increases the efficiency and accuracy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for pregnant women. This became known on July 9, 2024. Read more here

Moscow Department of Health signed a contract for the purchase of linen for medical institutions for 11.5 billion rubles

On January 23, 2024, it became known that the Moscow Department of Health signed a contract worth approximately 11.5 billion rubles for renting and washing textiles - bed linen, surgical sheets and gowns. The agreement was signed with the structure of the Russian company Bosco di Ciliegi LLC Outfitting Center (formerly Sporttovary Bosco LLC). Read more here.

Appointments from all doctors in all polyclinics in Moscow will be recorded on a recorder

In January 2024, the Moscow Department of Health issued an order with recommendations for communicating with a doctor during a patient's appointment. For control, the techniques will be recorded on the recorder.

To introduce audio monitoring of an outpatient doctor's appointment in all medical organizations of the state health care system of the city of Moscow, providing primary health care to adults and children (with the exception of state autonomous health care institutions of the city of Moscow, providing primary specialized health care in the profile "Dentistry"), - the document says.

The Department of Health claims that reception records will be stored for no more than one month on secure servers for possible operational assessment. It is noted that no equipment is purchased for audio recording, the equipment available to doctors is sufficient. Audio monitoring will have to be provided by an employee who will be assigned to the chief physician. He will assess what mistakes doctors make in conducting appointments or communicating with patients, and form recommendations for his team so that this does not happen again in the future, the department said. They added that the information will be confidential and will not allow determining a specific patient or doctor.

The audio recording of the reception is impersonal and confidential, stored without reference to a specific reception and does not allow identifying a specific patient or doctor. Accordingly, the content of such an audio recording is not a medical secret, the department explained.

Lawyer, partner of Korolev & Partners Ivan Kuzmin said in a conversation with RTVI that there should be some written consent to hold an audio recording of the reception. If the patient does not give consent, the refusal to take will most likely be declared illegal, he said.^[6][7]

2023

The increase in the number of hospitalizations by 4.6%, to 2.93 million

At the end of 2023, 2.93 million hospitalizations were registered in state round-the-clock hospitals in Moscow. This is 4.6% more than in 2022, when the number of such cases was approximately 2.8 million. Relevant data are provided in BusinesStat materials released in mid-April 2024.

It is noted that in 2020, the level of hospitalization in state hospitals in the capital increased by 5% compared to the previous year - from 2.77 million to 2.91 million cases. During the COVID-19 pandemic, planned treatment was suspended, but hospitalizations of patients with coronavirus began, which ensured a general increase. In 2021, the number of hospitalizations rose by 6.1% year-on-year, reaching 3.09 million cases. The growth was facilitated, among other things, by the implementation of deferred demand for inpatient treatment after strict quarantine restrictions.

In 2022, the number of hospitalizations in state round-the-clock hospitals in Moscow decreased by 9.3% - to 2.8 million cases, mainly due to the reduction of beds for the treatment of patients with COVID-19. After that, another growth followed, which was facilitated by an increase in the availability of state medicine in the region. In particular, in 2023, a number of stationary complexes began work on the basis of the flagship centers of the capital's hospitals: N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute of Emergency Medicine, GBUZ GKB named after S.P. Botkin DZM, GKB No. 15 named after O.M. Filatov, GKB named after V.M. Buyanov, GKB named after V.V. Veresaev and GKB B No. No. 1 named after N.I. Pirogov.

In addition, as stated in the study, in 2023, the standard of emergency medical care came into force, providing for the introduction of algorithms for the actions of employees, which are focused on the orderliness and effectiveness of work when a patient is admitted to the hospital. As a result, the rate of admission and determination of treatment tactics increased. On the other hand, the detection rate of coronavirus in the Moscow region decreased by 80%, which became a deterrent in terms of industry development.^[8]

KT, MRI and PET/CT market growth in Moscow by 14%

At the end of 2023, the volume of the tomographic diagnostics market in Moscow reached 25.6 billion rubles. For comparison, a year earlier, costs were estimated at 22.42 billion rubles. Thus, year-on-year growth was recorded at 14.2%, as stated in the BusinesStat study, the results of which are presented on May 15, 2024.

Analysts are considering different market segments. These are, in particular, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron (two-photon) emission tomography (PET). Moreover, in the latter case, integrated PET/CT scanners are most often used, which allow you to receive both metabolic and structural information about the disease. There are also other tomographic diagnostic methods - single-photon emission computed tomography and scintigraphy.

The published report says that the turnover of the Moscow tomographic diagnostics market is steadily growing. In 2019, costs amounted to 13.78 billion rubles, and a year later they rose to 17.08 billion rubles, which corresponds to an increase of 24%. In 2021, the industry showed an increase of another 19.3% - up to 20.38 billion rubles, while in 2022 a positive trend was recorded at 10%. In general, during 2019-2023, the size of the tomographic diagnostics market in the Russian capital rose by 85.8%.

It is noted that the revenue of institutions providing CT, MRI and PET/CT services grew at a faster pace in relation to the number of studies conducted. This is due to higher prices. And in 2020, the main factor in the increase in revenue was an active increase in the number of CT studies amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021-2023, digitalization, as well as the active use of artificial intelligence for data processing, contributed to an increase in the number and cost of radiation research in Moscow. The fact is that digital technologies allow you to increase the volume of procedures and their quality.^[9]

The incidence of tuberculosis in Moscow decreased by 7% over the year

In 2023, the incidence of tuberculosis in Moscow decreased by about 7% compared to the previous year. At the same time, mortality from this infectious disease in the Russian capital decreased by 33%. Such figures were announced on March 20, 2024 by the Moscow Department of Health. Read more here.

All children's intensive care units in Moscow received new medical equipment. 2.2 billion rubles were spent on this

In mid-December 2023, the Moscow mayor's office announced the completion of the program for updating the intensive care units of children's hospitals. 2.2 billion rubles were spent on this.

According to the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development Anastasia Rakova, over a year and a half, by the end of December 2023, "almost 1,500 units of the most modern medical equipment" were purchased, including 120 defibrillators-monitors, more than 120 anesthesia and respiratory devices, more than 250 incubators for newborns, more than 300 ventilators and more than 600 monitors of vital signs of the patient.

As Rakova emphasized, Moscow is implementing an integrated approach to equipping equipment in different profiles of medical care. The approach is based on the provision of the latest high-precision technology of all medical organizations, regardless of their location.

Rakova noted that the provision of resuscitation care is a key direction in each hospital, which directly affects the quality of treatment for patients in critical condition or in need of intensive care, and the use of new technologies together allows parents to be sure that the child is under the full control of doctors. Rakova added that modern methods in the anesthesiological and resuscitation departments of Moscow children's hospitals, monitoring and new technologies of surgical interventions also allow to increase the volume of planned surgical operations.

At the patient's bedside or on the operating table, it became possible to carry out so-called FAST ultrasound protocols for an immediate response to an emergency. With their help, anesthesiologists and resuscitators can ensure the safe implementation of invasive procedures, for example, when installing catheters.

On one multifunctional ventilator used in intensive care, according to indications and clinical recommendations, it is possible to use all existing invasive and non-invasive methods of respiratory therapy. This reduces the time to replace the device and other manipulations.^[10]

In Moscow, 57% of all clinical trials of drugs in Russia are carried out

In Moscow, 57% of all clinical trials of drugs in Russia are carried out against 42% in 2022. Such data are given on the official website of the capital's mayor in mid-November 2023. Read more here.

Sobyanin: 40% of Moscow's medical infrastructure has been updated in 5 years

Over five years, 40% of Moscow's medical infrastructure has been updated. The capital's mayor announced this in his Telegram channel on October 20, 2023.

We are forming a new medical framework on the basis of large multidisciplinary clinics. Changed the principle of medical care, introduced uniform algorithms and standards. Treatment effectiveness has increased significantly... In order for the quality of treatment to only improve every day, we are systematically modernizing the capital's health care... More than 40 hospital buildings were overhauled, several large medical centers and complexes were built, he wrote.

According to Sobyanin, by October 20, 2023, a multidisciplinary medical complex of the Children's City Clinical Hospital of St. Vladimir, the radiation building of the Kommunarka Moscow City Clinical Center, as well as the medical and diagnostic complex of the Moscow State Design Bureau No. 62 in Skolkovo are at work. In addition, the modernization of the infectious diseases service is being completed.

The quality of children's medical care is also a priority. For example, they expanded the newborn screening program and its spectrum, "he added.

The mayor recalled that in 2013 a "vascular network" was launched, and palliative care was taken "to a completely new level." According to the mayor, taking into account the new medical facilities built in the city, 1 million square meters of new medical facilities will be built, the same will be repaired.

Earlier in October 2023, the mayor said that a network of six flagship emergency medical care centers would be created in Moscow as part of the Metropolitan Healthcare program. Budget expenditures under the program will amount to 593.2 billion rubles, taking into account compulsory medical insurance funds - 1.02 trillion rubles. Each flagship center of the network will become a full-fledged hospital with admission and diagnostic departments, as well as operating and resuscitation rooms with modern equipment.^[11]

Annual expenditures of the Moscow budget for health care for the first time will exceed 1 trillion rubles

In October 2023, the Moscow Government approved the draft law on the capital's budget for 2024 and the planning period 2025-2026. According to the document, in 2024 the city's health care costs will amount to 593.2 billion rubles, and taking into account compulsory medical insurance funds - more than 1 trillion rubles.

With such figures, we are talking about an increase in medical costs by 11 and 12%, respectively (in 2023, the city authorities pledged 532 billion rubles. and 899 billion rubles. taking into account compulsory medical insurance, respectively). At the same time, the item of net health care costs, excluding the use of compulsory medical insurance funds, is still significantly lower than spending on other programs: for example, the authorities are going to allocate almost 1 trillion rubles (940 billion rubles) for the development of transport in 2024.

The largest city program will remain "Metropolitan Health" - free medicines, disease prevention, high-tech medical care, reconstruction and construction of hospitals and clinics and much more to maintain the health and well-being of Muscovites, - wrote Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin in his Telegram channel.

It is noted that in 2024-2026. the implementation of a large-scale program for the modernization of the infrastructure of Moscow health care will continue. In particular, by the end of 2025 it is planned to complete the implementation of the second stage of the largest urban program for the modernization of the outpatient link. This will allow the introduction of a new Moscow standard in all polyclinics in Moscow.

As part of the second stage of the modernization of the capital's emergency service, it is planned to reconstruct 22 reception departments of city hospitals on the same principles as in flagship centers. The costs of providing high-tech medical care at the expense of the city budget in 2024 will amount to 14.5 billion rubles, and taking into account the CHI funds - more than 34 billion rubles.^[12]

3 new children's clinics opened in Moscow

In January 2023, 3 new children's clinics were opened in Moscow. According to the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin, in the Beskudnikovsky district, the first patients began to be admitted to the new building of the children's polyclinic in Rogachevsky Lane, and in two institutions - branch No. 1 of PDH No. 48 in Kuzminki and branch No. 3 of PDH No. 125 in Bibirevo - the reconstruction was completed.

In these three polyclinics, corresponding to the new Moscow standard, about 40 thousand small Muscovites will receive medical care, - said Sobyanin.

The five-story building is designed for 250 visits per shift. Its total area is 3.4 thousand square meters. In the staff of the new clinic - 114 people, including 44 doctors. 16.5 thousand young residents of the Beskudnikovsky district will receive medical assistance here.

In the new building of the children's polyclinic in Beskudnikovsky district, pediatricians, otorhinolaryngologist, ophthalmologist, neurologist, orthopedic traumatologist, ultrasound diagnostic doctor and other specialists are receiving.

The clinic has installed modern medical equipment - X-ray machines, ultrasound, ECG, etc. The otorhinolaryngologist's office is equipped with an ENT combine, an audiometer, an audiometric noise protection cabin, a rhinolaryngofibroscope, a screening system for registering caused otoacoustic emission for the diagnosis of hearing in children.

In addition to the head building on Vsevolod Vishnevsky Street (house 4 a), the children's city polyclinic No. 15 includes two branches. Patients of the children's polyclinic No. 15 are 43.3 thousand residents of the Beskudnikovsky, Vostochnoe Degunino, Koptevo and Timiryazevsky districts. The total area of ​ ​ buildings is about 9.8 thousand square meters. The clinic is designed for more than a thousand visits per shift. 331 employees work here, including 124 doctors.

From 2011 to the beginning of 2023, 130 buildings of city, federal and private healthcare facilities were built in Moscow, including 64 polyclinics. Of these, 19 facilities were commissioned in 2022, including 11 polyclinics.

In 2023-2025, over 50 healthcare facilities are planned to be built in the capital, including about 20 polyclinics.^[13]

2022

4.2% decrease in transactions to 1.26 million

In 2022, doctors in Moscow carried out 1.26 million medical operations, which is 4.2% less than a year earlier. Such statistics in November 2023 were cited by BusinesStat analysts.

According to them, in 2018-2022. the volume of operations carried out in hospitals in the Russian capital showed multidirectional dynamics due to the difficult epidemiological and economic situation. Thus, in 2019, the indicator increased by 5.9%, and in 2020, in the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and quarantine restrictions, a significant part of planned operations was not carried out. As a result, the number of operations performed in hospital conditions amounted to 1.18 million, which is 21.9% lower than in 2019.

In 2022, the effect of deferred demand was exhausted, as a result of which the number of operations carried out in the hospital decreased by 4.2% compared to the level of 2021. The indicator was kept from a greater fall by an increase in the availability of operations after the re-profiling of covid hospitals for standard medical needs. So, in 2022, a new hospital in Kommunarka returned to normal operation. Over the year, about 69 thousand patients were treated in the Kommunarka hospital, more than 28 thousand operations were performed, of which almost 3 thousand were using high technologies.

BusinesStat expects an annual expansion of the list of medical institutions that will provide high-tech medical care (VMP) to patients under compulsory medical insurance policies. Increasing tariffs and increasing funding from the city budget and the budget of the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund will increase the attractiveness of the compulsory medical insurance system for private clinics, as well as expand the capabilities of state medical institutions. In 2022, Muscovites were already able to receive VMP in 20 profiles in more than 40 state hospitals, the study noted.^[14]

Increase in the number of CT examinations over 5 years by 1.6 times

In 2022, 5.42 million CT scans were carried out in Moscow, which is 2% more than a year earlier. Relative to 2018, the figure increased 1.6 times, calculated in the analytical agency BusinesStat as part of a study, the results of which were published in May 2023.

According to the report, in 2022, due to sanctions and a decrease in household incomes, market growth slowed down. The impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus epidemic on the market has also begun to weaken.

The development of the tomographic diagnostics market in the capital was facilitated by active state support for the industry. Since 2019, Moscow has been conducting the second stage of modernization of the radiation service. Obsolete equipment was replaced, standards for equipping diagnostic equipment and standards for its loading in the public sector were increased. Diagnostic equipment was connected to a single information network, a reference center was created to describe research, artificial intelligence systems for processing beam data began to be actively used. All this contributed to an increase in the availability of tomographic diagnostics for residents of Moscow and an increase in the number of studies in state medical institutions. Private medical institutions in Moscow developed tomographic diagnostic services to expand the range and participation in the compulsory medical insurance program for the provision of high-tech assistance, which allowed them to increase the total flow of patients.

According to the Moscow Department of Health, in 2022, over 8.2 million radiation studies were carried out in the city on digital heavy medical equipment. Studies include computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-rays, fluorography and mammography. Radiological examinations are carried out in adult urban polyclinics. The analysis of images is carried out in a single round-the-clock reference center, organized on the basis of the Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine of the Moscow Department of Health.^[15]

The volume of donation of donated blood in Moscow for the year increased by 20 thousand liters

At the end of 2022, the blood service of the Moscow Department of Health collected almost 240 thousand liters of whole donated blood, which is 20 thousand liters more than a year earlier. Such data are given on the official website of the capital's mayor in April 2023. Read more here.

With this document, the Moscow government included eye prostheses in the list of technical means of rehabilitation provided at the expense of the city budget.

Previously, eye prostheses were provided at the expense of the city only to disabled people, however, up to 50% of patients at the time of surgery are not disabled and cannot be recognized as them during a medical and social examination.

The decision of the capital's authorities will provide them with Muscovites in need and thus improve their quality of life. To get eye prostheses, patients need to take a referral to the city polyclinic and go through a medical commission - to children in the Morozov hospital, and to adults - at the ophthalmological center of the Botkin City Clinical Hospital.

Every year, specialists of the Moscow health care system carry out from 150 to 220 operations for those who need to remove the eyeball. The reason for such interventions can be intraocular tumors, terminal glaucoma, post-inflammatory and post-traumatic conditions that led to blindness and subatrophy of the eyeball. Instead of the eye, an implant is installed in patients, replacing the lost visual organ and allowing to maintain organ-reflex connections.

The eye prosthesis helps to maintain the facial mimic muscles in tone, fixes the lacrimal glands in a physiological position, is a barrier to infection in the orbital cavity, protects the eyelids from sagging, prevents the growth of the bone plates of the facial skull.

Primary prosthetics typically use 2-3 standard eye prostheses. Subsequently, the eye prosthesis is changed for children of children once a year, for adults - no more than once every two years.^[16]

In Moscow, began to introduce digital passports of polyclinics

Digital passports began to be introduced in 9 Moscow polyclinics. They are designed to simplify the work of chief doctors and increase the efficiency of managing medical institutions. This was announced on September 8, 2022 by the vice-mayor of Moscow for social development Anastasia Rakova.

According to her, a digital passport will allow chief doctors and their deputies to monitor up-to-date statistical information on all branches and patients of a particular clinic online.

{{quote 'The chief physician will also be able, if necessary, to open the electronic medical record of a particular patient for a deeper study of his medical history. This will not only simplify work, but will also help increase the efficiency of managing the outpatient link of the capital and monitor the health of Muscovites even more efficiently and proactively, "Rakova explained. }} As reported on the website of the Moscow mayor's office, the clinic's digital passport contains complete, reliable and timely analytical information necessary for the effective management of medical organizations. With its help, managers can take into account, evaluate and analyze a wide set of medical data characterizing the work of the institution and the quality of medical care provided to it. In the interface of the passport of the clinic there are icons with signal information that notify if something happens to patients (ambulance calls, hospitalization, monitoring for certain types of diseases or, for example, deviation of laboratory tests). All this helps to make medical care better and more effective to monitor the health of each patient.

It is noted that the new digital service is similar in functionality to the passport of the site, which in 2021 became available to all pediatricians and therapists of the capital. The key difference of the novelty is that the chief doctors and their deputies now have access to summary information on all branches and sites, as well as on the medical organization as a whole. Thanks to a convenient filtering system, the tool allows you to form patient lists by branch or specific site according to the specified parameters: time period, site profile (pediatric, therapeutic, all sites), sex and age, address of residence, educational institutions, hospitalization for the selected period or social status.^[18]

Sobyanin approved free provision of glucose monitoring systems for children with diabetes

In September 2022, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin signed a decree approving the free provision of glucose monitoring systems for children with diabetes in the capital.

In accordance with the document, the Moscow government will provide all needy Moscow children under the age of 18 with type 1 diabetes with continuous glucose monitoring systems. If there are appropriate indications, prescriptions for free receipt of medical devices will be written by attending endocrinologists. Previously, monitoring systems were provided to patients exclusively by decision of the medical commission, which significantly reduced their availability.

The provision of children with systems for continuous glucose control will be carried out at the expense of the Moscow budget and in excess of the list of medical devices issued preferentially approved by the Russian Government. It is planned that about five thousand small patients will become recipients of the systems. The procedure for issuing will be determined by the metropolitan Department of Health.

In the case of type 1 diabetes mellitus, continuous control of blood glucose (up to 10 times a day or more) is critical to adjust the dose of insulin administered. However, tests performed by finger piercing negatively affect the quality of life of children and their parents. In addition, these tests are difficult to carry out at night.

It is noted that unlike classic glucometers with test strips, continuous monitoring systems use subcutaneous sensors that work for a long time. Their use provides round-the-clock monitoring of glucose levels and informing about a critical decrease or increase in this indicator.

The massive use of new systems will significantly reduce the risk of severe complications in young patients, including diabetic coma, and radically improve the quality of life of families raising children with type 1 diabetes, the Moscow mayor's office said.^[19]

• red and orange - a severe patient, resuscitation or emergency surgery is required;
• yellow - observation is necessary, such are routed for further inspection and additional studies;
• green - stable condition, the patient is transferred to the diagnostic room of the reception department

Color cues will guide the doctor how quickly it is necessary to provide assistance to a specific patient. Red and orange levels indicate a serious condition when the patient must be immediately taken to intensive care or an emergency operating room. Such people are sent to intensive observation wards, where they are immediately examined by a specialized specialist, conducts additional research and constantly monitors their condition. Patients who are assessed as stable are referred to the diagnostic rooms of the admission department.

During the initial examination of the patient, the physician enters data on his condition into the digital system: records temperature, blood pressure, respiratory rate, heart rate, saturation, as well as complaints, symptoms and history. The volume of questions can be different, it depends on the reason for the appeal and the peculiarities of the course of the disease. The service allows you to reduce the time of the initial assessment of the patient's condition to five minutes.

The annual number of hospitalizations in Moscow increased by 14%

In 2021, about 3.99 million hospitalizations were recorded in Moscow, which is 14% more than in 2017, when the number of cases of patient accommodation in hospitals and clinics was 3.1 million. This was announced at the end of July 2022 by BusinesStat analysts.

Public hospitals accounted for an average of 86.4% of the market, while private hospitals accounted for 13.6%.

The public sector of stationary medical services is developing due to the expansion of the territorial program of compulsory medical insurance Campus Management and budgetary allocations in terms of inpatient and high-tech medical care. Stability is ensured by an increase in the number of insured under compulsory medical insurance policies.

The main vector for the development of commercial clinics is the desire to equip hospitals at the state level, provide unique services (for example, consultations with foreign partners) and high-tech medical care. The Moscow government is gradually expanding the list of possible applicants for the provision of high-tech medical care for patients (VMP) under compulsory medical insurance policies based on private hospitals and is increasing funding.

According to BusinesStat, in 2022, due to the Russian military special operation in Ukraine, sanctions pressure on Russia increased. At the same time, direct sanctions were not imposed on the supply of medical equipment, equipment and consumables. However, due to the complication of logistics and mutual settlements, foreign partners may suspend cooperation. Finding new suppliers will require additional time and resources. The imminent increase in costs will provoke an increase in the cost of treatment in private hospitals. As a result, the commercial sector of the market will suffer more due to a reduction in effective demand for stationary medical services, researchers say.^[23]
