No matter how sad it may sound, but it is very difficult to find a good specialist in the field of medicine today. And many people attribute this problem directly to the rise of corruption. You can talk about this for a long time, weighing all the pros and cons of paid services. But one thing is certain: in Russia there are still doctors who are ready to fight for the he alth and life of a person disinterestedly, while receiving a penny salary. “Who, if not me,” such doctors say.
Don't rely on the opinion of one doctor. Try to hear the latter,” is perhaps one of the best pieces of advice people have. And this article tells about the personal life and career of the author of this quote - Grigory Efimovich Roitberg. This is a famous Russian and Soviet scientist, cardiologist. It deservedly can be called the organizer of he alth care. This is a successful entrepreneur who has received many prizes and awards for the achievements that he managed to make in his life.
Biography of Grigory Efimovich Roitberg - childhood and youth
The future scientist was born on August 20, 1951 in the city of Soroca, Moldavian SSR. Father, Efim Petrovich, workedlivestock specialist, and his mother, Klara Moiseevna (nee Aizenshtadt), was a nurse. He also had a sister, Raisa.
In all interviews, he talks very warmly about his family. Roitberg Grigory Efimovich calls his parents very strong people who have always achieved their goals. Klara Moiseevna and Efim Petrovich created an incredibly warm and cozy homely atmosphere around their little son, despite the fact that times were difficult, after the war they could barely make ends meet. However, Grigory Efimovich remembers that the holidays were still in the family, and quite often. The family was large, so they celebrated birthdays, then weddings, then the birth of children. And it so happened that at least 70 people gathered at the table every time. Here is such a big and friendly family.
Education and early career
Grigory Efimovich Roitberg now admits that he did not want to be a doctor in his childhood. Together with the certificate, he received a gold medal. During his school years, he was repeatedly the winner of the Olympiads, so he could easily enter the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics. The father dissuaded: “Are you going to become a teacher? Look how poor they are! Look what your physics teacher is wearing.”
Grigory Efimovich had no choice but to enter a medical institute. He was enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine and Biology. I wanted to be a biochemist. But even here the father intervened, who, for certain reasons, advised me to enter the medical business, and then transfer to where he himself wanted. And so it was done. But when GregoryEfimovich began to study clinical disciplines, then he realized that he wanted to continue doing just that.
After graduating from basic education, Roitberg got into residency with the legendary (as he himself says) Pavel Evgenievich Lukomsky. Those couple of years during which he studied with the academician, Grigory Efimovich calls the greatest school. Pavel Evgenievich had a great influence on his development as a doctor. Then Grigory Efimovich Roitberg worked in an ordinary city hospital in Moscow as a general practitioner (from 1976 to 1981). Then he defended his Ph. D. thesis, after which in 1981 he became the head of the Department of Cardiology and Associate Professor of the Department of Hospital Therapy of the Dental Institute.
Simultaneously with the conduct of medical practice, Grigory Efimovich read a lot, a lot. He was better educated than his colleagues. Then it even seemed to him that he could cure absolutely any disease.

Everything is here, from the correct hand washing technique to places where you can put a catheter.

- 1999 – “Laboratory and instrumental diagnostics of diseases of internal organs.”
- 2005 – “Internal Diseases. Respiratory system.”
- 2007 – “Internal Diseases. Cardiovascular system”, “Internal diseases. Digestive system”, editor of the collection “Metabolic syndrome”.

The main achievements of Roitberg were mentioned above, namely the organization of the Department of Family Medicine, the introduction of echocardiography and coronary angiography into the clinical medicine of the USSR, the study of myocardial diseases and their effect on the vascular endothelium, the writing of a huge number of articles, as well as a series of monographs and teaching aids. As for the awards, the most significant are the Honored Doctor of the Russian Federation and the award of the Government of the Russian Federation, which is awarded for success achieved in a particular field of activity.
All ranks
Roitberg Grigory Efimovich – cardiologist, professor, doctor of medical sciences. He is the head of the Department of Family Medicine of the Russian National Research Medical University named after N. I. Pirogov. As already known, he is the president of the multidisciplinary private clinic JSC "Medicina". He achieved these titles during the period from 1990 to 1998. In 2011 he became an active member of the Russian Academy of Sciences. He is a member of the Bureau of the Presidium of the Russian Jewish Congress.
Interesting facts
Grigory Efimovich is "friends" with technology. He believes that it is not always necessary to go to the patient on your own or call him to the clinic - sometimes you can contact via Skype. If a person has any questions or complaints, then it is often possible to correct the treatment by means of an absentee “examination”. But, of course, this is far from always feasible.
Grigory Efimovich collects figurines of medical subjects. Today, he has several hundred such items in his collection.
The brainchild of Roitberg, the clinic "Medicina", not only successfully passed the JCI accreditation, but was also awarded five stars from the no less prestigious European EFQM system. Of course, the doctor is proud of such an achievement.
Somehow there was news in the press that Grigory Efimovich Roitberg met with the Pope. However, the doctor declined to comment on this.
Currently
It's no surprise that Meditsina is considered one of the best clinics in Russia. Today, Grigory Efimovich is 67 years old, but he continues to develop to becomebetter himself and improve the medical institution he opened.
"Don't try to change the world. Change yourself and the world around you will change." During his many years of experience, Grigory Efimovich faced a variety of diagnoses. He still says that making a correct diagnosis is something that comes as an insight. And it is impossible to explain exactly how this happens. So, in the near future he is going to publish another book, which will describe the diagnoses. Those that are actually much simpler than they might seem at first glance. So, for example, one girl almost had a kidney transplant due to problems with urination. And the reason was only that she practically did not drink water, as she was convinced that they were getting fat from it. And there are a lot of such examples.
On the Russian Forbes list
Being a talented doctor and a successful entrepreneur, in 2014 he got on the pages of the magazine. Namely, Forbes. Roitberg Grigory Efimovich took 197th place. Then his standing was estimated at 450 million US dollars.
Family

He was born in 1977 in Moscow. He is the CEO of CJSC Digital Worlds, a writer, candidate of economic sciences. But nothing is known about Grigory Efimovich Roitberg's wife.
