Alexander Subbotin described the opening of the renovated City Polyclinic No. 5 of the Vitebsk Central City Polyclinic in Vitebsk on the eve of the Day of National Unity as a symbolic event.
– This is indeed symbolic, as teams that worked in different locations have united, reunited, – noted the Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, Alexander Subbotin. – An important social facility has been renovated and restored with budget funds; it has everything necessary for providing quality medical care. The facility can receive about 300 patients per shift. For this purpose, it is equipped with modern equipment and all necessary structural units. It is important that the treatment process will take place in a beautiful building. This will enhance the comfort of working conditions for medical professionals, and therefore, will affect the quality of services provided.
Alexander Subbotin presented the management of the Vitebsk Central City Polyclinic with a certificate for 45,000 Belarusian rubles for the purchase of medical equipment to furnish two of the polyclinic's offices.
The renovation of the three-story building for the polyclinic at 6 Kommunisticheskaya Street took 10 months. Furthermore, the facility has been fully digitalised, including the installation of local area networks and the creation of 60 automated workstations; modern medical equipment, medical and office furniture have been acquired. A new parking lot has been built, and the adjacent territory has been landscaped. 2.5 million Belarusian rubles from the regional budget were spent on these purposes.
The polyclinic provides primary outpatient medical care to the adult population of Vitebsk and Vitebsk District, numbering over 23,000 people.
The renovated polyclinic comprises 4 structural units: two general practice departments, a surgical department, and a general polyclinic department with offices for a neurologist and an endocrinologist; a pre-medical examination room, a procedure room, a vaccination room, and a women's examination room. There are also offices for medical examinations and preventive care. The institution is staffed with an emergency medical care team with a vehicle. Hospitalisation is provided when necessary, and home-based inpatient care is organised.
