" The 'Train of Health' initiative caters to children with special needs in the district of Nizhny Novgorod"
The Regional Dental Polyclinic in Nizhny Novgorod has announced a new project aimed at providing dental care for children with autism spectrum disorder. The announcement, made on August 11, 2025, was shared by GTRK "Nizhny Novgorod".
Anatoly Sidorenko, the chief doctor at the Regional Dental Polyclinic, emphasised the importance of this initiative. The polyclinic is committed to providing a personalised approach for each patient, and all specialists have undergone additional special training to ensure they can cater to the unique needs of children with autism.
The project goes beyond just medical help. It aims to create a comfortable environment for these children, making dental visits less daunting and more enjoyable. The Regional Dental Polyclinic is working diligently to find an individual approach for each patient, ensuring they receive the best possible care.
While details about the "Health Train" mobile dental complex's schedule for offering free dental care to children with autism spectrum disorder are not widely published, it is known that mobile medical units like the "Health Train" often operate on a scheduled but limited basis. They visit different locations periodically to provide specialized services, including dental care, to underserved groups.
For precise and current details on the "Health Train" schedule and its specialized free dental care provision for children with autism in the Nizhny Novgorod region, contacting local health authorities or the organisers directly would be necessary.
The project was announced by the Ministry of Health of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, underscoring the regional government's commitment to improving healthcare services for children with autism. This initiative is a significant step towards providing comprehensive and inclusive dental care for all, regardless of ability or condition.
