In Russia, private medicine is still poorly developed. But those institutions that accept patients have already proven themselves. These include the Scandinavia clinic. St. Petersburg is infinitely grateful to her doctors for the high level of professionalism and the assistance provided to the residents of the city.
The international cooperation
This medical institution opened not so long ago. The Scandinavia Clinic at Liteiny welcomed patients for the first time in 2004. This was made possible thanks to close cooperation with the Finnish medical organization Ava-Peter.
In Europe, health is one of the top priorities. Therefore, the Finns decided to help introduce modern technologies in Russia. They not only opened a private clinic, but also actively collaborate with the Ministry of Health in public-private partnerships. This means that in the same "Scandinavia" through private resources various government programs and initiatives are being implemented.
This is the only medical institution in the country that is funded by the World Bank, which indicates its compliance with international standards for the provision of services to patients with various diseases.
Specialization
In its specialization, this is a multidisciplinary medical institution. The most diverse clients within its walls are hosted by the Scandinavia clinic. St. Petersburg knows that doctors of many specialties work here: surgeons, diagnosticians, therapists, gynecologists, proctologists, otolaryngologists and others.
The clinic has both a day hospital and outpatient clinics. Therefore, patients are provided with the entire possible range of services. This approach to treatment is correct, because the patient does not have to run to different institutions, collecting puzzles of his illness. And the attending physician will trust the conclusions of his colleagues more than the data of experts accidentally found.
Therefore, many patients choose this particular clinic as a family medical center, because professionalism and level of treatment really correspond to the European approach to this matter.
Recruitment Approach
It’s not a secret for anyone that, among other things, the Scandinavia Clinic is famous for its good specialists. St. Petersburg has heard more than once about its leading doctors as professionals in their field.
It is very important for a medical institution that people who really know their field work in it. For this reason, only trusted and proven doctors are recruited to the clinic. They undergo a rigorous competition at which their competence, ability to work with modern technology, and their willingness to apply innovative treatment methods are evaluated.
No less carefully recruited and other staff. Nurses and nurses pass an examination for compliance and knowledge of the main points of their future work.
Thanks to this, already at the entrance of each patient, a person is met who is aimed at resolving the problem that the visitor addressed as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Diagnostic Methods
There is another important point that distinguishes Scandinavia from others - the clinic (St. Petersburg), which has the latest and most advanced methods for diagnosing diseases. Here, as elsewhere, analyzes are collected, but their results are obtained only in a modern laboratory. This eliminates inaccuracies and significant errors that complicate the diagnosis.
Among the technical means it should be noted the use of the least hazardous devices: MRI, CT, ultrasound instead of radiography. Each department has its own specific devices that give the most complete understanding of the picture of the diagnosed disease.
It has long been known that the less invasive and destructive diagnostic methods doctors use for the body, the easier the treatment and rehabilitation process will go in the future. Therefore, surgical diagnosis is resorted to only in the most extreme cases.
Branch system
To cover as many patients as possible, the medical institution over 10 years of operation has opened several of its branches in the city. In St. Petersburg, in almost every district there is a Scandinavia clinic. Sestroretsk was the first to open a clinic unit outside of St. Petersburg. And this is not the limit.
The opening of the Northern Clinic is planned for 2015. This institution will significantly expand the list of services provided. Thus, a private clinic with all its departments will be able to cover almost the entire population of the Northern capital and provide services in any branch of medicine - from ambulance to cosmetic surgery.
In addition, the constant increase in the number of representative offices in the city indicates that its residents appreciated the quality of the medical services provided and that they themselves need to be served by more doctors.
Maternity ward
The first thing that surprised the Scandinavia clinic (St. Petersburg) was the maternity ward. As you know, state maternity hospitals are hardly moving to modern technologies and practices for receiving birth. Therefore, a new private clinic stands out against their background.
The department has antenatal and postnatal wards and two maternity wards. They have modern equipment that allows a woman in labor to occupy any position convenient to her. A woman and a child are constantly monitored by 8 specialists, including an obstetrician, gynecologist and anesthetist.
Postpartum wards, as a rule, are single, but they provide an extra bed for a relative of the woman in labor, if necessary. In comfort they resemble a hotel room rather than a ward in a hospital.
There is also a pediatric intensive care unit in the clinic. So in case of an unforeseen situation, the baby will be provided with all the necessary assistance on the spot.
Treatment of ENT diseases
The maternity ward is not the only thing the Scandinavia clinic is famous for. St. Petersburg also knows reviews about the ENT department. The most qualified doctors work here, who try to eradicate the disease with therapeutic methods. Surgery is resorted to in the most extreme and complex cases.
Otolaryngologists have good German equipment in service, which allows them to carry out the whole range of diagnostic procedures, including dopplerography of the vessels of the head.
If you still have to do operations, then they are performed here, in the surgical department. In the postoperative period, both the attending physician and the surgeon who performed the intervention can monitor the patient.
Clinic Surgery
Known "Scandinavia" at the Foundry and its surgical department. Of course, it runs regular operations. But here the direction of cosmetic surgery is also well developed.
Experienced plastic surgeons not only improve the appearance of patients, but also perform reconstructive operations, which are sometimes much more important than simply increasing the size of the breast or facelift.
The only drawback that some patients note is the relatively high cost of all services. On the other hand, they always have a choice: you can go to a state clinic and get free, but not of such high quality services.
Therefore, you should not spare money to always be healthy and beautiful.
