The Center is fully equipped and meets all the standards of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. A sanitary checkpoint was created and personal protective equipment, as well as necessary medicines were stocked. The center is also fully staffed with specially trained personnel, that has received additional training in dealing with the COVID-19. Most of them have already had experience working with COVID-19 patients.
Currently, the Center has deployed 200 beds. All beds are equipped with oxygen, intensive care units- with mechanical ventilation devices.
The Center's admission is located on the basis of the inpatient emergency department of the University, which was created according to a special and innovative project. There are two computed tomography (CT scan) units, a laboratory with pneumatic dispatch , sufficient number of experts and areas for quick sorting and examination of arriving patients, in order to expedite ambulance operations, avoid queues and to facilitate quicker patient admission.
The center accepts patients with moderate and severe symptoms. Our medical professionals interacting with the patients have all been made aware of the dangers involved, so that they can best protect themselves.
Maintaining the health and safety of our staff is of critical importance for the functionality of the entire Center, upon which the city residents' well-being depends. To minimize the possibility of infection, upon leaving the contaminated zone at the end of their shift, all staff undergo mandatory aerosol treatment (fumigation) with the protective kit used during work on. This system, recently obtained from New York, has already been installed and it is fully operational.
In total, the Center currently employs roughly 400 people.
