It is generally accepted that all the largest medical institutions in the country are located in Moscow. Well, or, at worst, in St. Petersburg. However, the clinic, considered the most extensive cardiology center in the country, is located not in two capitals, but in the Kuban. We are talking about the regional hospital of Krasnodar on the street. The 1 of May. What is the history of its creation, what services are provided there, how to get there - you can find out about this and much more about this clinic by reading our material.
Krasnodar Regional Hospital on May 1: how it all began
The number one regional hospital in Krasnodar can rightfully be considered not only the largest cardiology center, but also one of the oldest clinics, in any case, certainly in the Kuban. The countdown of its history dates back to the second decade of the nineteenth century - to be more precise, from 1816. It was then in Yekaterinodar (and this is the former name of Krasnodar, if suddenly someone does not know the history), in the territory of the Cossack fortress located there (before it was the Cossacks who mostly inhabited the city), a military hospital appeared. Then it was very small, housed in a tiny adobe hut on one floor (adobe is a dwelling built from raw brick with the addition of straw), with a roof made of reeds, and consisted of as many as nine employees: six paramedics, two residents and one the healer. And there were enough patients - they were brought on hands, brought on horses and in carts. Doctors of the nineteenth century did not sit idle. Then, of course, the future regional hospital of Krasnodar on May 1 did not have the same equipment as it is now (we will talk more about this later); not everyone was saved. However, the skill of doctors grew, and with it the military hospital itself grew ...
Future fate
In the nineteenth century, the Cossack military hospital became the first Kuban hospital. And he remained the only one for a long time. Today, there are enough medical institutions in the Kuban, but the current regional hospital in Krasnodar on May 1 remains the best.
Today’s first regional hospital remained a hospital with nine employees until the beginning of the seventies of the last century. And when in 1871 women's departments were opened and staff was expanded, the Cossack hospital received hospital status. Yekaterinodar military hospital - that is how this medical organization began to be called since then.
The end of the nineteenth century brought new changes to the life of the Kuban hospital. New departments in various fields appeared in it, and the current regional hospital of Krasnodar on May 1 acquired the status of a multidisciplinary clinic, and with it the opportunity to provide assistance to all residents of the Kuban on a variety of issues. True, the hospital is still such a multidisciplinary center. However, let's not get ahead of ourselves ...
Twentieth Century
In 1917 there was a revolution. One way or another, she touched everything in the country - something directly, something - indirectly. Some institutions have been abolished, closed - including hospitals. However, Ekaterinodar survived this fight. For her, the revolution was marked by another change of name - in 1920 the clinic received the name of the Kuban-Black Sea Regional Hospital.
In the same 1920, in September, at the Kuban University, a new faculty opened its doors for studiosus - as you might guess, a medical faculty. This event was of direct importance for the former Cossack hospital, and the current regional hospital of Krasnodar on May 1: the clinic’s doctors (not all, but many) were professors and teachers of the faculty; The hospital itself has become the main clinical base for the newly formed educational department. Moreover, in connection with the opening of the faculty, the structure of the former hospital was affected by the changes. The departments of the medical institution were reorganized into clinics, headed by university professors.
The following transformations took place in 1930 - then the former Cossack hospital became the Third City Hospital. During the war, the clinic’s doors did not close, and when Stanislav Ochapovsky, a professor, a prominent ophthalmologist, head of the eye department and the oldest employee of the medical center, died in 1945, the hospital was named after him. The institution carries it to this day.
Regional Clinical
The former Yekaterinodar Regional Clinical Hospital, number one, became in 1948, and since then it has been. The structure of the medical institution has repeatedly expanded and changed - for example, fourteen years ago, the first Center for Thoracic Surgery was attached to the hospital in the south, however, we will talk more about this later. We only note that currently the Krasnodar Regional Hospital number one is considered one of the largest clinics of medical and preventive nature in the entire south of our country.

Cardiology and surgery are especially developed in the regional clinical hospital of Krasnodar on May 1 - the operations performed here delight physicians from other regions. These areas have many different industries - for example, thoracic cardiology or x-ray surgery - and all of these industries are also successfully developing in the above-mentioned medical institution. And the last eight years, it is in this center that the first transplantation of various organs, including the heart, in the history of Kuban medicine has been carried out. In 2012, not in Moscow and not in St. Petersburg, namely in Krasnodar, for the first time in our country, a transplant of an artificially grown trachea and part of the larynx was performed. It is also here that a plastic technique for face burns that has no analogues in the world is developed. In general, the regional clinical Krasnodar fully justifies its name - it really is number one!
Hospital Structure and Directions
In what industries do doctors work in this multidisciplinary center! Eye microsurgery and neurophrology, neurosurgery and oncothoracic pathology, traumatology and cardiovascular care ... All and not to list! And all these areas (twenty-seven in all) fit into as many as sixty branches, which, in turn, are combined into eight major centers. The centers are as follows: breast surgery (it was already mentioned above; it is here that all cardiological surgeries are performed), neuroneurological, neurophrological, surgical, burn, trauma and orthopedic, anesthesiology and intensive care, as well as therapeutic. In addition, there is a ninth center - consultative and diagnostic. The work of each of them will be described in more detail below.
Center for Thoracic Surgery
The aforementioned “compartment” of the Krasnodar clinic began to be built as a separate cardiology center back in the nineties of the last century, however, they could bring to mind the undertaking only at the beginning of the century that had already arrived. For two years the center worked as an independent medical institution, and then there was a connection with the regional clinical hospital.
According to available information, the Center for Thoracic Surgery in Krasnodar is the third largest country in terms of quality and quantity of assistance to the population. People go there even from other regions, because they know that highly qualified specialists work there who will do everything possible and impossible, too. The center performs absolutely all types of cardiological operations, including the smallest (and even newborn) patients.
The structure of this “compartment” includes eleven departments: two cardiology, two cardiosurgical (one for children, the other for adults), oncology, blood transfusions, endoscopic, x-ray, two thoracic and surgical treatment of complex cardiac disorders (including cardiac pacing). It is impossible to talk about each within the framework of one article, but a few words about pediatric cardiac surgery is quite real.
It was opened sixteen years ago, and a few months after the start of work, operations began actively and constantly in it. They are performed for children of any age, any weight - they operate even on premature babies, even those whose body weight is critically small. It treats congenital heart defects, corrects septal defects, and fights against heart and respiratory failure. And this is not a complete list.
Urological Center
This center arose twelve years ago from the Department of Urology of the Regional Clinical Hospital of Krasnodar on May 1. It, in turn, "budded" from the surgical department back in 1974. To date, this center is among the three best among Russian "colleagues", where kidney transplantation manipulations are performed. And besides, they treat urinary incontinence, male infertility, testicular cancer, prostate and other organs, pelvic pain, and various urological infections.
The center has six departments: two urological, two nephrological, oncourological, and nephrological resuscitation. The oncourological department is comparatively "young" - it was formed just four years ago and has forty beds. It performs all the necessary types of such interventions, including a thorough diagnosis.
Therapeutic center
More than eight thousand patients of the first clinical year are patients of the therapeutic center. It consists of seven departments: gastroenterology, pulmonology, endocrinology, rheumatology, two cardiology departments (numbered three and four), as well as a paid services department.
We will talk about the paid services of the Krasnodar Regional Hospital on May 1 a little later, and we will briefly discuss the work of all the other departments mentioned above.
Gastroenterology
This department is one of the "veterans" in the hospital, it was founded in 1976. It was then that the first beds for patients with diseases of a similar profile appeared in the therapeutic department. Six years later, the gastroenterological department became a special unit of the therapeutic. Now it has thirty-five beds, a year the department serves about one and a half thousand patients.
Pulmonology
Until 1973 therapists were in charge of pulmonological issues. Actually, after the seventy-third pulmonology remained in the therapeutic profile, however, it stood out in its own unit. Today, doctors of the first, second and highest categories, as well as a candidate and a doctor of sciences, work in it.
Rheumatology
This department has been operating since 1984. Patients with musculoskeletal problems, such as arthritis, arthrosis, vasculitis, and so on, are referred here. Designed for thirty-five patients.
Endocrinology
The endocrinology department has been separated from the therapeutic department relatively recently, but now it has forty beds, including a superior room. It is considered the clinical base of the Department of Internal Medicine of the Kuban Medical. In this "branch" the project "School of Diabetes" functions, endocrinologists as part of hospital teams travel to the regions with examinations.
Cardiology
In two departments of this profile, located in the therapeutic unit, more than sixty beds, most of which are designed for patients who are in the hospital around the clock. Several beds were given for day care. The departments of cardiology are the base for the departments of therapy and cardiology of the medical university of the Kuban.
Anesthesiology and resuscitation center
We continue to briefly get acquainted with the directions of the hospital. In its seven departments can be up to two hundred patients. Anesthesia is performed here and patients are cared for after the most difficult operations, which is facilitated not only by professional doctors, but also by the latest equipment and medicines. Specialists of the center put more than 38 thousand anesthetics annually, more than 15 thousand people save.
Trauma Center
The structure of this center includes three departments that accept victims from all over the region. It is the only trauma center for adults of the first level in the Kuban. Both those who suffered from traffic accidents and those who received injuries of any severity by any other means are brought here. More than four thousand people a year go through this center of the regional hospital of Krasnodar on May 1.
Burn center
This is the only place in the entire Kuban where victims with burns - both large and small - can receive professional specialized assistance. Over one and a half thousand manipulations per year are carried out by doctors of this block. In its structure there are three departments - directly burn, anesthesiology and intensive care, as well as an examination room and medical and consultative care.
Neurological Center
Diseases of the brain and spinal cord, spinal problems - including cancer, are all treated here in the neuro-neurological center of the main Krasnodar hospital. More than a thousand operations per year are carried out in this unit. Most of these interventions are somehow related to oncology. The unit consists of seven departments: three neurosurgical, two neurological, neurorehabilitation, as well as neuroresuscitation.
Surgical center
As previously mentioned, surgery is highly developed in this hospital - as much as cardiology. The most modern and high-quality equipment contributes to this.
The surgical center is represented by several different departments. Among them are surgery, purulent surgery, and ophthalmology. On May 1, there are gynecology, vascular surgery, and maxillofacial surgery in this block of the regional clinical hospital in Krasnodar. And all of them together as a surgical center are among the five best in all of Russia.
Therapeutic department of paid services
For five years now, anyone can come to this department of the therapeutic center and get all the desired types of consultation, diagnosis and treatment in all of the above areas of medicine. There are comfortable rooms for one to four people, equipped with everything necessary - including a shower.
