Republican Specialized Scientific and Practical Medical Center for Therapy and Medical Rehabilitation
Tashkent, Republic of Uzbekistan
The history of the center goes back to the distant past, when in 1919, a government made a decision to reorganize the nationalized Slonim Brothers Hospital into the Institute of Physical Methods of Treatment and Radiology. The Institute was the only establishment in Central Asia with a well-equipped, for that time, hospital, where the seriously wounded were sent to from the battlefront. Subsequently, the Institute underwent a number of reorganizations and renaming, receiving its current name and status in 2009.
The clinical division of the center has inpatient (290 beds) units for adults, which include rheumatology, cardiology, cardio rehabilitation, cardio cerebral pathology, gastroenterology, hepatobiliary pathology, pulmonology with clinical allergology, intensive care, and four children’s rehabilitation units (140 beds), which include pulmonology, gastroenterology , arthrology and neurology. Support units include physiotherapy, balneology and mud therapy, as well as a consultative polyclinic. Diagnosis and treatment are carried out both in outpatient and inpatient settings, with high quality that meets international standards. Diagnostic and therapeutic assistance is provided by Professors, Doctors and Candidates of Medical Sciences.
Since 2014, the center has been conducting coronary artery stenting operations. It has accumulated extensive experience in stenting the most complex lesions of the coronary arteries, such as chronic occlusions, bifurcation lesions, etc. Recanalization and stenting of the coronary arteries in myocardial infarction are performed regularly. Currently, more than 1,500 procedures are performed every year. Other possible surgical interventions include operation on the brain vessels, on the vessels of the kidneys, uterus, and on the arteries of the lower extremities.
