Field hospital now operational in Ostradny
In a significant development for healthcare access in the Kuban region, a new paramedic-midwife station (FAP) has been opened in the remote village of Khorin, Otradnensky district. The station, equipped with facilities for primary medical care, is located in a region where over 100 people reside.
The Governor of Kuban, Veniamin Kondratyev, announced the opening of the station in his Telegram channel, emphasizing the regional government's goal to make primary healthcare accessible in every corner of the region.
Prior to the opening of the FAP station, local residents had to travel 10 kilometers to the nearest medical institution. With the opening of this station, they can now receive qualified care on-site, including specialist consultations, various examinations, and vaccinations.
The FAP station in Khorin is one of the 91 stations built over the past 10 years in the region, according to the regional head's statement. This year, the plan is to open another 22 paramedic-midwife stations in the region, although the exact locations and services offered at these stations are yet to be specified.
The statement also indicates a continued focus on expanding primary healthcare access in the region and a commitment to further developing the healthcare infrastructure. The regional head did not provide details on the specific services or facilities that will be offered at the additional 22 stations.
The opening of the FAP station in Khorin is a testament to the regional government's dedication to improving healthcare access for its residents, making a significant difference in the lives of those living in remote areas.
The Governor's announcement about the FAP station in Khorin highlights the regional government's focus on improving healthcare access, particularly in medical-conditions management and health-and-wellness services, for remote village residents who previously had to travel long distances for primary medical care.
With the operational FAP station equipped for specialist consultations, various examinations, and vaccinations, as well as the plan to build 22 more similar stations this year, science-based healthcare solutions will become more accessible to the expanding population in the Kuban region.
