An ambulance and telemedicine center was launched in the Arctic for 1.6 billion rubles

The Republican Center for Mobile Teams is being created on the basis of the Republican Center for Public Health of Medical Prevention. As noted by Fedot Tumusov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Health Protection, the Federation Council Committee on Social Policy supported a pilot project to create a regional center for mobile teams to organize field and remote medical care for residents of the Arctic zone. 1.6 billion rubles will be allocated for the implementation of the project from the budgets of the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund and the republican one, he said.

The pilot project of the Arctic model of medical care is based on the idea of ​ ​ organizing planned visits of doctors and new forms of specialized medical care with the involvement of modern telemedicine technologies. The initial admission of the patient at the visit will be face-to-face. Further consultations will be carried out remotely. It is assumed that doctors will visit one settlement four times a year. Thus, within the framework of the project, residents of Arctic regions will have access to consultations of narrow specialists, and not only in emergency cases or during field medical examinations.^[1].
