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 diverse institutions, including those in the field of he althcare. Among the huge variety of he althcare institutions in the capital, there is also 1 infectious diseases hospital on the Volokolamsk highway. What is special about this clinic and what do patients say about it?
A few words about Volokolamka
Before talking about the 1st Infectious Diseases Hospital located on Volokolamskoye Highway, you should at least briefly explain what kind of highway this is. Despite the fact that when most people hear the word “highway”, a wide asph alt road with cars flying along it appears before their eyes, one of the streets in the capital of our country bears this name. However, the highway of the same name still exists - but outside of Moscow. And the “avenue” that interests us is located not far from Leningradsky Prospekt, in the north-west of the capital. Before leaving the metropolitan area and smoothly flowing into the highway, Volokolamskthe highway crosses several urban areas: Mitino, Shchukino, Sokol, Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo. In total, the total length of Volokolamka is more than seven kilometers.
Earlier, back in the nineteenth century, there was another road on the site of the Volokolamsk highway - it led straight to the Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo estate. Later it was combined with another, more modern, road. Currently, this path, formerly called Tram Passage, runs along the tram line on the segment between the above-mentioned estate and the MPS hospital.
On the 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 a higher educational institution of food production rises. Nearby stands the former mansion of C. F. Seger, now turned into a psychiatric hospital. It is famous for the fact that it was in it, in the truly grandiose work of Mikhail Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita", that the fateful meeting of Ivan Bezdomny with the main character, whose name the book is named, took place. And on Volokolamka there is a shopping center with an interesting name "Gvozd". 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 Aeroclub are located …
In addition, the buildings erected there during the prosperity of the Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo estate, and nowwhich are objects of cultural heritage of the capital. This, for example, is a railway ensemble - two station houses built in the early twentieth century, or the Church of the Intercession of the Most Holy Theotokos. It is located, among other things, on Volokolamsk Highway 1 Clinical Infectious Diseases 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 the foundation of a completely new medical institution was laid on the abandoned land near the above-mentioned highway. Then it was calculated for seven hundred and a few beds, located in three buildings. In addition, it was also planned to build a garage, workshops, a laundry and a boiler room - all this belonged to the economic building of this he alth care institution. The fact that this clinic should turn out to be infectious, it became clear right away - it was not without reason that it was built according to the construction projects of infectious diseases hospitals of Czechoslovak colleagues. In addition, a special resolution of the Moscow City He alth Department was issued (it happened in 1961, in the midst of construction) that the newly created institution would only accept patients with acute viral infectious diseases.
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. name of this man and his successors, the story will return a little further).
As already mentioned, in the sixty-first year of the last century, the construction of 1 infectious diseases hospital at 63 Volokolamsk Highway was in full swing. It lasted until the very end of late autumn - by that time the boiler house began to work, supplying heat to the clinic. And in the winter of this and next year, the staffing of medical personnel took place - both experienced specialists and young newcomers who had recently graduated from the university were recruited. Along with the search for employees, the equipment of the new infectious diseases hospital with all the necessary equipment was organized so that by the time of its opening the 1st infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk Highway could work with patients at full capacity. The new medical facility and its staff were ready for this in February 1962. The first patient crossed the threshold of the admission department of the hospital on the sixteenth of February - this date can be rightfully considered the day the clinic began its work. By the way, at the same time, on the basis of the 1st Infectious Diseases Hospital on the Volokolamsk Highway of Moscow, a clinical department of the Institute of Virology was organized (previously it was based in another clinic), which specialized in acute respiratory ailments of various kinds, influenza (that is, influenza), as well as viral hepatitis.
Until the seventy-third year, there were three hospital buildings, but then a fourth appeared. At the same time, the clinic began to expand significantly - and if earlier only the department of the Institute of Virology functioned on its basis, now the departmentthe Institute of Poliomyelitis and Viral Encephalitis, and the Research Institute of Epidemiology and Microbiology, and even the Department of Postgraduate Medicine!
And a few years later, the 1st Infectious Diseases Hospital on Volokolamsk Highway received a special specialized department that de alt with the issuance of sick leave, certificates, all kinds of other extracts, as well as the distribution of documents. At the same time (the yard was in the mid-eighties), the medical institution was replenished with a children's inhaler, 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, including endoscopy and ultrasound rooms.
The first infectious today
As before, now the 1st Infectious Diseases Hospital of Moscow on Volokolamsk Highway provides medical care to all those in need who suffer from any infectious diseases. Moreover, they will provide the necessary specialized assistance to pregnant women with pathology according to the Viral hepatitis profile. It is possible to receive the desired assistance both outpatiently and inpatiently. Some mistakenly believe that 1 infectious diseases hospital on the Volokolamsk highway is a children's hospital, but this is not at all the case. There are both children's and adult departments here, therefore, a patient of any age can apply to this medical institution (even infants are hospitalized at Volokolamka). More details about some departments of the first infectious disease will be discussed below.
Hospital Features
What is special about 1 infectious diseases hospital at 63 Volokolamsk Highway? What makes it different from other similar clinics of this profile?
Firstly, and here we must pay tribute to the first head physician of the institution, since it was he who sought the benefits for the institution entrusted to him, all hospital departments are connected by a television network with the so-called TV studio in the administration building, which makes it possible to communicate with each other patients and their families. Let's not forget that this is an infectious diseases hospital and visits are not possible here, and therefore such innovation is all the more valuable. Secondly, in the first infectious disease there is a two-way communication over a loudspeaker, with the help of which doctors and representatives of the administration of the clinic can maintain a dialogue, there is a voice recorder center, which is a great help to doctors in their work. And it was here that the first central sterilization laboratory in our country appeared.
Activities
Despite the fact that in general the profile of the clinic is clear, nevertheless, it is worth separately identifying the areas in which this medical institution provides medical care. So this is:
- various infectious forms;
- SARS with intestinal infections;
- SARS with false croup syndrome;
- herpes;
- whooping cough;
- all kinds of respiratory viral diseases with various types of complications (pneumonia, tonsillitis, bronchitis);
- mononucleosis;
- viral hepatitis: both acute and chronic;
-various airborne infections;
- help for pregnant women and women in labor with viral and bacterial infections, and much more, including vaccination.
Clinic leadership
As already mentioned, the first chief physician of the 1st infectious diseases hospital on the Volokolamsk Highway, who served almost twelve years in this post and did an incredible amount for his offspring, was A. V. Yeremyan. In the seventy-third year he was replaced by G. M. Mikhailova, thanks to whose assistance many doctors of the clinic were able to acquire housing at that time. This woman was generally an ardent social activist - it was not for nothing that she took the place of a deputy in the Council of People's Deputies of the capital several times. She worked as a locomotive of the first infectious disease for fourteen years.
After Mikhailova, the chair of the head was again taken by a man - Doctor of Medical Sciences N. A. Malyshev. It happened in eighty-seven. To date, he has held this position for the longest time - almost thirty years. And all this time he did not sit idly by. During the years of his reign in the adult and children's 1 infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk highway, according to his colleagues, a lot has changed. For example, an oxygen station appeared, a consultative and diagnostic center began to work, and this is only a small part.
In 2016, the leadership changed - A. V. Devyatkin became the leader of the first infectious disease, but already in October 2017, a perturbation occurred again. From that very moment to this day, the position of the head physician of the clinic on Volokolamka has been occupied by Svetlana Vasilievna Smetanina, who is a doctor of the highestcategory in the direction of "General Medicine".
Hospital departments
In total, there are more than twenty different departments in 1 infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamskoye Highway at 63 Volokolamskoye Highway.

Adult sections
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 (that is, closed), because it is intended for pregnant women and women in childbirth. Any infectious pathology of an acute form can lead them to the clinic and make them patients of this department. Here and only here, in addition, expectant mothers who have become victims of an animal bite are hospitalized. And if a woman carrying the hepatitis B virus or CMB has started giving birth, an ambulance will deliver her to the 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 required profile who are able to carry out a safe delivery, and the wards of the department itself are equipped with everything necessary for a comfortable stay of mother and baby.
The first "section" includes people suffering from any of the acute viral hepatitis (A, B, C, D), as well as those patients whose chronic viral hepatitis is in the phaseexacerbations. The second and eighth departments receive patients with severe forms of acute respiratory viral infections (which have flowed into tonsillitis or pneumonia), as well as with mycoplasmal and chlamydial infections and tick-borne borreliosis. The profile of the seventh hospital is not much different from the two adult departments of the hospital described above: they treat all the same airborne infections - SARS and influenza with various complications.
Slightly different profile in the ninth department: all kinds of acute neuroinfections - herpes, herpes infections with meningitis, encephalitis, enterovirus infections with serous meningitis, as well as tick-borne borreliosis.
The patients of the tenth adult department are the 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 need to be said about the children's "sections" of the 1st infectious diseases hospital on Volokolamsk highway. It is correct to call them pediatric. There are only four of them, numbered three, four, five and thirteen.
Attentive readers who have noticed that neither the adult nor the children's departments have the number eleven, may not be surprised. The eleventh branch is located separately. These are boxes, and patients of absolutely any age can fit there.
The third category includes children (both infants and older children) who have been diagnosed with acute respiratory viral infections with croup syndrome and / or such a syndrome, when the passage of air through the bronchi is impaired due to the narrowing of the airways. Moreover, this is exactlyThe department of this particular hospital is the only one in the entire multi-million dollar Moscow where whooping cough is treated. In the fourth, they accept babies whose respiratory diseases are, one way or another, associated with intestinal infections of various kinds. In addition, the Department of Children's Infectious Diseases from the University named after Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov functions on the basis of the same department.
The fifth pediatric department specializes in serious diseases such as viral meningitis, meningoencephalitis, tick bite and suspected infection, Lyme disease, acute flaccid paralysis and the like. Children of all ages are treated here, including those who have just been born. But the thirteenth department of the 1st Infectious Diseases Hospital on Volokolamsk Highway accepts patients exclusively from three to fourteen years old who have undergone SARS and / or complications after it, acute tonsillitis or infectious mononucleosis.
