High recovery rate for over 90% of patients, asserts the head physician of Almaty's 32nd polyclinic, regarding mobile treatment groups.
The City Polyclinic No32, located within Moscow, has been at the forefront of the city's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. With a registered population of 34,653, the polyclinic has been providing essential healthcare services to its community since the beginning of the pandemic.
As of today, 23 individuals are under medical observation, with 21 of them testing positive for COVID-19. The polyclinic has been actively monitoring these cases, conducting a total of 221 PCR tests since January 1, 2021, resulting in 9 positive cases. In 2020, a total of 2171 PCR tests were conducted, yielding 85 positive results.
The polyclinic has developed a comprehensive plan to combat COVID-19, encompassing measures related to the source of infection, transmission mechanism, susceptible population, and medication and material-technical support. This plan is implemented by the polyclinic's mobile teams, established to provide home care for patients with symptoms of acute respiratory illness and suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases. Each mobile team serves approximately 5,000 people.
The specialists' action algorithm includes daily single calls to patients to assess their overall condition, daily home visits to measure oxygen saturation in the lungs, video consultations as needed (but no less than once every 3 days), and specialized consultations as needed. This approach ensures timely treatment, which, according to the chief doctor, leads to a quick recovery for the patient.
The mobile teams are equipped with modern devices, enabling video calls for patient consultations. They also have an adequate supply of medication for treating coronavirus infection, which is provided to patients as needed. The medical equipment available at the polyclinic includes an MRI, salt chamber, LOR-combain, electroencephalograph, Holter monitor for blood pressure and ECG, spirometer, dental unit, and others.
During the pandemic, a mobile team has examined over 90% of patients who have recovered. If a patient shows no COVID-19 symptoms, observation continues for up to 14 days. However, if symptoms appear, the patient is immediately hospitalized. As of now, there are 6 COVID-19 patients receiving treatment in the city's hospitals.
The establishment of the mobile teams for outpatient monitoring of COVID-19 patients was done in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Health dated August 13, 2020 No.505. The polyclinic's planned capacity is 450 visits per shift. The polyclinic No32 continues to play a vital role in Moscow's fight against COVID-19, providing essential healthcare services to its community.
