Five modular outpatient clinics open in Sakha Republic

On 22 October, five new modular outpatient clinics opened simultaneously in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia, Russia). The clinics are located in the settlements of Beydinge in Ust-Aldan district, Bootuluu in Verkhnevilyuysk district, Kiriyes-Kytyla in Namsky district and Chappanda in Nyurba district, as well as in the Marcha micro-district of Yakutsk.

Head of the republic Aisen Nikolaev took part in the opening via video link. "It is important for every local resident of the republic to receive quality medical care when needed, both in the central city and in remote settlements," he said.

All five clinics are equipped with modern equipment to provide primary medical care. Marcha has separate procedure and treatment rooms for adults and children. Construction and equipment were funded with 91.8 million rubles under the national project "Long and Active Life", proposed by President Vladimir Putin. Nikolaev said that since 2018, more than 130 health facilities have been launched in Sakha, from oncology and cardiology centres to feldsher-midwife posts in the most remote settlements. He thanked everyone involved and gave special thanks to doctors.
