Rusakovskaya hospital is considered one of the oldest institutions in the capital. It was established in 1876. At the same time, the first patients arrived here. During its existence, it was renamed several times. But time passed, and the hospital changed only the name, managers and staff. That is why it is very difficult for this largest medical institution to compete with modern commercial clinics. Despite this, the hospital is not deprived of some special charm. Although the reviews about it are very chaotic and ambiguous. What is this institution? Who is being treated in it? And what's so special about it?
A brief background from the hospital biography
Rusakovskaya hospital resembles an old and decrepit old man who has already lived his life. He has seen a lot and now he can proudly sit on the mound and recall the deeds of past years. That's just to do this to our building no one gives. On its territory, they continue to help people and treat small patients. Another thing is that no one in the clinicis engaged. But the walls have long been in need of repair and infusion of new capital. But that, as they say, is a completely different story.
Few people know that the hospital building was erected at the expense of a we althy and influential person involved in the railway business. Hospital them. Rusakova (Moscow) was the brainchild of Pavel Grigorievich von Derviz. It is said that its construction was connected with the good intentions of the rich man to help needy children. As it turned out, no amount of money from a major philanthropist helped him save his own sons. As a result, they left this world early due to actively developing bone tuberculosis.
The hospital then and now
Initially it was assumed that the Rusakovskaya hospital would be designed for 100 free beds for Moscow children who need treatment and are unable to pay for it. Little patients at that time could be children aged 0 to 12 years. It was in this form that this institution, the financial support of which was assumed by the state, was awarded a number of honorary awards. For example, in 1878 he was awarded the title of the most exemplary metropolitan clinic. And in 1882, the hospital was recognized as the best medical institution for children in Europe.
Today, the Rusakovskaya Children's Hospital (St. Vladimir) is considered one of the largest Moscow he althcare organizations. This is a large medical complex with a fairly large number of buildings and wards. Every year it serves over 20,000 patients with various diagnoses, conducts more than8000 successful operations. Over 19,000 people here are regularly examined and receive professional medical advice. In a word, the influx of patients here is simply huge. But does this building meet modern standards?
