In addition, during the year more than five and a half thousand children receive medical care, and more than twenty five thousand children visit the clinic per day.
Consultation and Diagnostics Center
The Consultative and Diagnostic Center became part of the Scientific Research Center for Children's Health RAMS (Lomonosov Avenue) in 2006.
It provides both paid services and voluntary health insurance services. Emergency care can be obtained at any time of the day for any children from birth to 18 years old with incomprehensible conditions or exacerbations of chronic diseases. Upon admission to the department, the doctor conducts a quick diagnosis of the condition. If necessary, children are placed with one of the parents in a hospital ward.
The Scientific Center for Children's Health (Lomonosovsky Prospekt, 2) also includes an advisory department. The work of the department is carried out in two shifts from early morning until late evening, including weekends. This is done for the convenience of working parents. It is these families who more often turn to this department on Saturday and Sunday.
One hundred sixty-three specialists are hired here, assistance is provided in thirty-three pediatric areas, such as allergology, genetics, arthrology, gynecology, cardiology, physiotherapy exercises, orthodontics, dentistry, surgery and so on.
Cabinet equipment
All offices of the CDC are equipped with the latest equipment. The structure of the advisory department also includes an ENT office, where an integrated approach to the detection of ENT diseases is carried out, which includes: otoscopy, otomicroscopy, endoscopy of the nasopharynx, acoustic impedancemetry, and if necessary, computed tomography of the temporal bones.
The Consultative and Diagnostic Center, part of the Scientific Center for Child Health RAMS, provides both emergency and necessary medical care for the treatment of children.
Rehabilitation centers
Doctors say that the main thing in medicine is not to cure the disease, but to prevent it. It is even more important to undergo a course of restorative medicine after treatment. The Scientific Center for Child Health includes rehabilitation centers in various fields. In such centers there are children with disorders of the musculoskeletal system who have suffered serious eye or heart diseases and have developmental delays.
Mental health center
The Children's Mental Health Science Center is the country's leading research institution in the field of mental illness. The main activities of this institution are as follows:
- New methods are being developed for diagnosing, treating and preventing such diseases.
- The latest methods of therapy and rehabilitation courses are being introduced.
- Social adaptation of people with mental disorders.
- Mental health research is underway.
- New forms of psychiatric care are being researched and introduced.
Mental health problems often occur in childhood. If the disease is not cured in time, it can have a devastating effect on the human brain, and can lead to death (often suicide). Therefore, the Scientific Center for the Mental Health of Children and Adolescents pays special attention to the development of issues of diagnosing mental illness, especially in the early stages of development. The research work conducted by the Scientific Center for Children's Health allows one to recognize the disease and, combining harmless drugs and corrective techniques, achieve significant results and sometimes completely cure the disease.
Developments in the field of children's mental health
Huge work is being done towards pathological changes in mental health in young children. Some developed techniques become standardized ones. This, for example, "The scheme for assessing the neuropsychic state in children under three years old." There is also a group of scientists that explores childhood autism, studies its typology and clinical indicators. A number of corrective techniques have already appeared that can alleviate the condition of sick children and make their adaptation in society more real. This research department has a kindergarten for children with autism, which allows scientists to observe children for a longer time during the day. This helps to achieve the most correct research results and introduce special techniques.
Comparison of Concepts Method
It is known that a mental illness such as schizophrenia leads to the pathology of thought processes. Employees of the Research Institute of RAMS S.E. Strogova, N.V. Zverev and A.I. Khromov developed the “Comparison of Concepts” methodology to study mental disorders in children and adolescents with this disease. After applying this effective technique, the picture of violations becomes clear, which allows you to choose an effective treatment.
Rehabilitation Center of the Research Institute of Pediatrics
Recently, a rehabilitation center of one of the institutes of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, the Research Institute of Pediatrics, has opened in more than six thousand square meters. It includes 12 branches. Here, programs for individual rehabilitation treatment of children are developed and implemented. The specialists of this center plan to prepare young athletes for participation in sports Olympiads, sports and athletics competitions, competitions at various levels. This rehabilitation center also works as a Scientific Center for Child Health, conducting research in all necessary areas of activity.
The Scientific Research Institute of Hygiene and Health Protection of Children and Adolescents of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences
At this scientific research institute, a great deal of work is being done to develop such theoretical propositions as:
- Adaptation of the child's body.
- Identification of patterns of growth and development of children, the study of health status.
- Hygienic regulation.
An analysis of work over the past five years has made it possible to identify patterns of changes in the health status of the younger generation, explain the cause of the deterioration, and make a forecast for the near future. Also, based on the research, new data on the adaptation of children to the educational process were obtained and hygienic educational standards were developed. Conclusions were drawn about early employment, when the child combines study and work, and the negative impact of this form of existence on the child's body is proved. The standards for carrying heavy items for boys and girls aged 14-17 were developed and scientifically substantiated, hygiene standards for vocational schools and colleges were developed. Also, research work was carried out to study the clothes of children and adolescents and the materials from which it is made. Based on these studies, a list of requirements has been compiled that children's clothing must meet.
The Scientific Research Institute of Hygiene and Health Protection of Children and Adolescents of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences is actively developing regulatory documentation aimed at maintaining and maintaining the health of the younger generation. It is presented in the form of monographs, collections and other literature.
So, the Scientific Center for Children's Health RAMS is the largest state scientific and practical institution. He provides both the necessary medical care at the highest level, and is engaged in research activities, promoting Russian medicine.
