History

2023: Procurement of da Vinci robotic surgeons and another 13,000 devices

In May 2023, the mayor Moscow Sergei Sobyanin spoke about how the modernization of the S.P. Botkin. In particular, according to the mayor of the capital, more than 13 thousand units of medical equipment were purchased for the medical institution, including. robots surgeons da Vinci

The first step in updating the Botkin Hospital was the reconstruction of building No. 21, to which the regional vascular center moved. About two thousand patients with acute cerebrovascular accident and more than one thousand patients with acute myocardial infarction save their lives here every year.

A major overhaul of pathological and anatomical building No. 33 was also carried out, in which a modern pathomorphological and molecular biological laboratory was opened, performing a full range of cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic studies in oncohematological diseases.

As Sobyanin noted, in four years it was possible to put in order buildings No. 1, 6, 7, 11, 28 and building 8. After reconstruction, services for the treatment of patients with blood diseases appeared in building No. 1. The capabilities of the hematology center increased by a third. There are treatment, including courses of chemo-, immuno-, targeted therapy.

In building No. 7, the department of purulent surgery with bone pathology and a surgical hospital of short-term stay were placed. Patients with injuries complicated by infection are helped here. The latest equipment allows the use of the most modern methods of treatment using, for example, 3D technologies, as well as all types of plastic surgery to replace extensive soft tissue defects. The reconstruction allowed to double the number of consultations and operations.

In building No. 11, an inter-district nephrology center was opened for dynamic observation and treatment of patients with chronic kidney disease. After restoration, building No. 8 housed a modern catering unit with a tablet food line, refrigerators and cooking equipment for 1800 patients six times a day^[1]

2021: Opening an endoscopic center for early-stage cancer detection

At the end of July 2021, an endoscopic center was opened in the city clinical hospital (GKB) named after S.P. Botkin in Moscow, which should help detect cancer in the early stages.

The total area of ​ ​ the center's premises is 1.2 thousand square meters. It will conduct over 320 studies per day (about 115 thousand studies per year). The center occupies two floors of building No. 22.

Two powerful endoscopy centers are opening in Moscow. One here in Botkinskaya, and the second will soon open in the Buyanov clinic. And in general, this will provide twice as many opportunities for gastroscopy and colonoscopy. I hope that the number of timely diagnoses and assistance will multiply in Moscow after the introduction of these two centers, - said Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin during the opening ceremony of the endoscopic center in the Botkin hospital.

Alexei Shabunin, chief physician of the S.P. Botkin Hospital, said that this is the first high-flow endoscopic center in Russia and Europe. The equipment of the center allows detecting tumor lesions at the earliest stages thanks to the unique possibilities of microscopy - an increase of 300-400 times and the function of white and red light.

Specialists of the new endoscopic centers will conduct diagnostic procedures and, if possible, remove neoplasms right on the spot or send them for surgical treatment. The biomaterial taken from patients, if necessary, will be delivered to one of six urban specialized pathomorphological laboratories for histological, molecular genetic and immunohistochemical studies.

The studies will be conducted under intravenous sedation, which minimizes the patient's discomfort, creates comfortable conditions for the doctor to work and reduces the time for the examination and intervention.^[2]

2020: Arrest of Oksana Paklina, head of the pathology department, for a bribe

2015

As of January 2015, the Botkin City Clinical Hospital is the leading multidisciplinary medical institution in Moscow. The hospital has all the necessary complex of diagnostic and medical equipment. In total, there are 34 departments in the hospital, and after the introduction of a new medical and diagnostic building, specialized new departments were opened in the hospital: coloproctological, neurotraumatological, orthopedic, cardiovascular and diagnostic departments at the admission department. At the moment, the urological building has also been commissioned.

It is noteworthy that almost all departments of the hospital are the clinical base of leading educational and research institutions in Moscow. 3 departments of the Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy and 15 departments of the Russian Medical Academy of Postgraduate Education are located on the basis of the hospital departments. In addition, on the basis of the hospital there is the Scientific Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences (Department of Innovative Minimally Invasive Technologies), a number of divisions of the Research Institute of General Resuscitation of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, the Moscow Scientific and Practical Center for Otorhinolaryngology, the Federal Scientific and Clinical Center for Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology (Department ology). All this allows us to develop and promptly introduce the most modern methods of examination and treatment of patients into the practice of the hospital.

The hospital includes highly qualified city centers: a center for endoprosthesis of large joints, a center for the diagnosis and treatment of toxplasmosis, and a hematological center. The hospital also has visiting teams that provide emergency specialized resuscitation (obstetric-gynecological) and neurosurgical care to hospitals in Moscow.

It is also important that in all emergency situations in Moscow, hospital doctors take an active part in the treatment of victims. This is facilitated by the multidisciplinary nature of the hospital, the presence of a large number of intensive care beds and, of course, the fact that the Botkin Hospital is located near the city center.

But the most important thing is that the Botkin City Clinical Hospital is aimed at constant development. One of the upcoming innovations is the decision to build the first proton beam therapy center in Russia in the hospital, equipped with the most modern diagnostic equipment (including a gamma camera and a positron emission tomograph). The value of proton beam therapy is that protons can irradiate malignancies that are located in close proximity to vital organs.

In conclusion, it is worth saying that the hospital specialists make a huge contribution to the development of medicine, thanks to their scientific developments and unique methods of treatment.

1910-1920

The city clinical hospital named after S.P. Botkin (popularly: Botkin Hospital) was officially opened in 1910, but its history began much earlier. The initiator of its construction was the famous Moscow doctor and major public figure Fedor Alexandrovich Gaethje. It was on his advice that an honorary citizen of Moscow, a merchant of the first guild Kozma Terentievich Soldatenkov (1818-1901) in his will ordered to allocate 2 million rubles for the construction of the hospital. This money was allocated to ensure that a "hospital for the poor appeared in Moscow without distinction in religion, classes and ranks." In 1903, the Moscow City Administration allocated 10 acres of land on the Khodynsky field and, in April 1908, the hospital was laid. The official opening took place on December 23, 1910.

By a resolution of the Moscow City Duma, the hospital was named after K.T. Soldatenkov. According to the plan, the hospital was supposed to include 12 treatment buildings, but by the time of opening, only 6 were built. By the fall of 1913, 3 more buildings of the hospital were completed: erysipelas, scarlet fever and typhoid. It is worth noting that, along with medical buildings, the hospital included: emergency room with an outpatient clinic, an office with a pharmacy, a kitchen with a glacier, a laundry room with a disinfection chamber, an anatomical theater with a chapel, a storeroom for storing sick dresses, a bathhouse, a central boiler room and residential buildings for staff. The built buildings met the highest requirements and were equipped with the latest medical equipment.

In December 1920, the 10th anniversary of the hospital was celebrated, the Moscow Council adopted a resolution on renaming the Soldatenkov Hospital to the S.P. Botkin Hospital. In the entire post-Soviet space, few people have not heard about such an institution as the Botkin Hospital in Moscow.
