Cardiology Center of Mariupol turned one year old. Today it is one of the best medical facilities in all of Ukraine. Modern equipment, major repairs, European-level chambers - everything has been done here to save the lives of residents of Mariupol. The results of the year of work were summed up by the director of the Department of Healthcare Svetlana Makarova and the head physician Sergei Orleansky.
The main pride of the center is a new angiograph worth 18 million UAH. In addition, there is an ultrasound diagnostic system with a sensor and a lung ventilation apparatus. Thanks to modern equipment, doctors performed 1006 operations per year. In total, more than 2.5 thousand people underwent treatment at the center.
“Today, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Therefore, such a single center is a necessity. It opens up new opportunities for residents of Mariupol to receive high-quality treatment without leaving the city. All employees were trained in the leading cardiac surgical clinics of Ukraine. Now work is being done with a medical institute to prepare new young personnel,” – Svetlana Makarova said.
According to Sergey Orleansky, an average of 3-4 operations per day are performed in a cardiocenter. But there were exceptional cases when nine people had to operate on one day.
"For a year of work, we halved the number of deaths in people with myocardial infarction. The center provides assistance around the clock,” – the doctor said.
The plans are to complete the repair of resuscitation, purchase a second angiograph and create a consultative and diagnostic department.
