The regional Ministry of Health intends to develop this area.
Minister of Health of Transbaikalia Oksana Nemakina spoke on the air of Chita State Television and Radio Company about the Ministry's plans for the development of high-tech assistance in the region. We are talking about the implementation of an organ transplantation unit in Transbaikalia.
Nemakina noted that there are a lot of people in the region in need of a kidney transplant and they have to go to other regions where there is an opportunity to receive such medical service.
"We are expanding opportunities in different areas. We are still lagging behind in the cardiovascular system and we have no transplantology - that's too bad. I plan to find an opportunity to train specialists in this field," - said the head of the regional Ministry of Health.
A transplantology department is planned to be opened at the regional clinical hospital. New equipment and training of specialists will be needed.
