Moscow is a million-plus city. A city that can be considered a separate country. A city in which, in addition to millions of inhabitants, there are as many very diverse institutions, including in the field of health. Among the huge variety of healthcare facilities in the capital, there is 1 infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk highway. What is special about this clinic, and how do patients respond to it?
A few words about Volokolamka
Before talking about the 1st infectious diseases hospital located on Volokolamsk Highway, we should at least briefly explain what this highway is. Despite the fact that with the word “highway” a majority of people have a wide asphalt road with cars flying along it, in the capital of our homeland one of the streets bears such a name. However, the highway of the same name still exists - but already outside of Moscow. And the “avenue” that interests us is located near Leningradsky Prospekt, in the north-west of the capital. Before going beyond the metropolitan framework and smoothly flowing into the highway, Volokolamsk highway crosses several urban areas: Mitino, Schukino, Sokol, Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo. In total, the total length of Volokolamka is more than seven kilometers.
Previously, back in the nineteenth century, on the site of the Volokolamsk highway there was another road - it led straight to the estate Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo. Later it was combined with another, more modern, expensive one. Currently, this path, previously called the Tramway Passage, runs along the tram line on the section between the above estate and the hospital of the Ministry of Railways.
On Volokolamsk highway there is a fairly large number of very different and very interesting buildings. So, for example, there is an art-industrial academy dedicated to Stroganov, next to which stands a higher educational institution of food production. Nearby is the former mansion of K. F. Zeger, now turned into a psychiatric hospital. She is famous for the fact that it was in her in the truly grandiose work of Mikhail Bulgakov “The Master and Margarita” that the fateful meeting of Ivan Bezdomny with the main character, the name of which the book was named, took place. And also on Volokolamka there is a shopping center with the interesting name “Nail”. Not anywhere else, but it is here that the brand new Spartak Stadium, opened just four years ago, the Aviation Institute, the Hydroproject Institute, the Institute of Neurology, the V.P. Chkalov flying club ...
In addition, the buildings on the Volokolamsk Highway that were built there during the prosperity of the estate Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo, which are now the cultural heritage of the capital, have been preserved. This, for example, a railway ensemble - two station houses of construction of the beginning of the twentieth century, or the Church of the Protection of the Holy Virgin. It is located, among other things, on Volokolamsk Highway 1 Clinical Infectious Disease Hospital. Now it's time to talk about her in more detail.
History of creation
No hospital on Volokolamka existed until the sixties of the last century. It was then that on the abandoned land near the aforementioned highway laid the foundation for a completely new medical institution. Then it was calculated on seven hundred with a small bed, located in three buildings. In addition, it also provided for the construction of a garage, workshops, laundry and boiler room - all this belonged to the economic building of this healthcare institution. The fact that this clinic should turn out to be infectious was immediately understood - it was not without reason that they built it on projects for the construction of infectious hospitals of Czechoslovak colleagues. In addition, a special resolution was issued by the Moscow City Health Department (it happened in 1961, at the very height of construction) that patients with acute viral infections will only accept the institution.
The infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk Highway received number 1 much later, and at the very beginning of its work, it was assigned number 82. A.V. Yeremyan was appointed the head physician of the newly created medical institution, who gave him twelve years of his life (in the name of this person and the story will return to his successors a little further).
As already mentioned, in the sixty-first year of the last century, the construction of 1 infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk highway, 63 was in full swing. It lasted until the very end of late autumn - by that time the boiler room began to work, supplying heat to the clinic. And in the winter of this and next year, medical staffing took place - both experienced specialists and young, recently graduated newcomers recruited. Along with the search for employees, the new infectious diseases hospital was equipped with all the necessary equipment - so that by the time of its opening the first infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk Highway could work with patients in full force. The new medical facility and its staff were ready for this in February 1962. The first patient crossed the threshold of the hospital ward on February sixteen - this date can rightfully be considered the day the clinic starts work. By the way, at the same time, on the basis of the 1st infectious diseases hospital on the Volokolamsk highway of Moscow, the clinical department of the Institute of Virology was organized (previously it was based in another clinic), which specialized in various acute respiratory ailments, influenza (i.e., flu), as well as viral hepatitis.
There were three hospital buildings until the seventy-third year, but then a fourth appeared. Then the clinic began to expand significantly - and if earlier only the Department of the Institute of Virology functioned on its basis, now the department of the Institute of Poliomyelitis and Viral Encephalitis, the Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, and even the Department of Advanced Medical Studies have begun to work!
And a few years later, the first infectious diseases hospital on the Volokolamsk highway received a special specialized department that was engaged in the issuance of sick leave, certificates, various other extracts, as well as the distribution of documents. At the same time (the mid-eighties stood in the yard), the medical institution was replenished with a children's inhalation, which made it possible to stop the development of certain types of diseases in a very short time.
In 1997, new rooms and even entire departments appeared in the hospital, among which are endoscopy and ultrasound rooms.
First infectious these days
As before, now the 1st Moscow Infectious Diseases Hospital on Volokolamsk Highway provides medical care to all those in need, suffering from any infectious diseases. Not only that, they will provide the necessary specialized assistance to pregnant women with pathology in the profile of “Viral hepatitis”.

Some mistakenly believe 1 infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk highway as a nursery, but this is not at all the case. There are both children's and adult departments, therefore, a patient of any age can apply to this medical institution (even babies are hospitalized on Volokolamka). Details of some departments of the first infectious will be described below.
Hospital Features
What is special about 1 infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk highway, 63? What distinguishes it from other similar clinics of this profile?

Let's not forget that this is an infectious diseases hospital and visits are impossible here, and therefore such innovation is all the more valuable. Secondly, in the first infectious disease, there is a two-way communication via a loudspeaker, with the help of which doctors and representatives of the clinic administration can maintain a dialogue, a dictation center works, which is a huge help for doctors in their work. And it was here that the first in our country central sterilization laboratory appeared.

Clinic Guide
As already mentioned, the first chief physician of the 1st infectious diseases hospital on the Volokolamsk highway, who had chopped off at this post for nearly twelve years and did incredibly much for his brainchild, was A.V. In the seventy-third year he was replaced by G. M. Mikhailova, thanks to the assistance of which many doctors of the clinic were able to acquire housing at that time. This woman was an ardent social activist in general - not without reason she several times took the place of deputy in the Council of People's Deputies of the capital. In the position of the first infectious locomotive, she worked for fourteen years.
After Mikhailova, the chair of the leader was again taken by a man - doctor of medical sciences N. A. Malyshev. This happened in the eighty-seventh year. Today, he has occupied this place for the longest time — almost thirty years. And all this time he did not sit idly by. Over the years of his reign in the adult and children’s 1 infectious diseases hospital on the Volokolamsk highway, according to his colleagues, a lot has changed. For example, an oxygen station appeared, an advisory diagnostic center began to work, and this is only a small part.
In 2016, the leadership changed - the leader of the first infectious was A.V. Devyatkin, however, in October 2017, perturbation again occurred. From that moment to this day, the position of the head doctor of the clinic on Volokolamka has been held by Svetlana Smetanina, who is a doctor of the highest category in the direction of "General Medicine".
Hospital Departments

This is anesthesiology with resuscitation, and radiation diagnostics, and physiotherapy together with physiotherapy, and much more. But among other things, there are several adults and several children's departments in this clinic. More needs to be said about them.
Departments for adults
There are only eight of them: the first, second, sixth obstetric, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth and twelfth.
The sixth is called obstetric and is observational (i.e. closed), because it is intended for pregnant women and women in labor. Any acute infectious pathology can lead them to the clinic and make them patients of this department. Here and only here, in addition, hospitalize expectant mothers who became victims of an animal bite. And if a woman who has a hepatitis B virus or CMB virus starts giving birth, she will be delivered by Ambulance to 1 infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk Highway. Despite the fact that this clinic is not a maternity hospital, the sixth obstetric department employs specialists of the necessary profile who can carry out safe delivery, and the wards of the department itself are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable mom and baby stay there.
The first “section” includes people suffering from any of the acute viral hepatitis (A, B, C, D), as well as those patients in whom chronic viral hepatitis is in the acute phase. The second and eighth departments take patients with severe forms of acute respiratory viral infections (flowing into tonsillitis or pneumonia), as well as with mycoplasma and chlamydial infections and tick-borne borrelliosis. The profile of the seventh is not much different from the two adult departments of the hospital described above: all the same airborne infections are treated there - SARS and flu with various complications.
A slightly different profile in the ninth department: all kinds of acute neuroinfections - herpes, herpetic infections with meningitis, encephalitis, enterovirus infections with serous meningitis, and tick-borne borrelliosis.
Patients of the tenth adult department are owners of fever of unknown origin, hemorrhagic fever, leptospirosis. And finally, in the twelfth department there are patients with respiratory viral infections.
Kids
A few words should be said about the childish "sections" of 1 infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk highway. Correctly call them pediatric. There are only four of them - under the numbers three, four, five and thirteen.
Attentive readers who have noticed that the number eleven is not present in either the adult or children's departments may not be surprised. The eleventh branch is located separately. These are boxes, and patients of absolutely any age can be placed there.
The third includes children (both infants and older children) who are diagnosed with acute respiratory viral infections with croup syndrome and / or such a syndrome when air passage through the bronchi is impaired due to the narrowing of the airways. Moreover, it is this department of this particular hospital that is the only one in the whole multimillion-dollar Moscow where pertussis is treated. In the fourth, they take babies whose respiratory diseases, one way or another, are associated with various types of intestinal infections. In addition, the department of childhood infectious diseases from the Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov University functions on the basis of the same department.
The fifth department of the pediatric profile specializes in such serious diseases as viral meningitis, meningoencephalitis, tick bite and suspected infection, Lyme disease, acute flaccid paralysis and the like. Children of any age are treated here, including those just born. But the thirteenth department of the 1st infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk Highway accepts patients exclusively from three to fourteen years old who underwent ARVI and / or complications after it, acute tonsillitis or infectious mononucleosis.
