A significant renovation phase has been completed at Children's Polyclinic No. 18, located on Lenin Avenue in Nizhny Novgorod. The makeover encompassed architectural, electrical, and plumbing upgrades within the medical facility, which occupies the first two floors of a residential building. The entire water supply and drainage systems have been replaced, and the office spaces for pediatricians and other specialists have undergone transformations.
Oksana Demenko, the polyclinic's head doctor, stated, "We have incorporated federal standards of lean production in our polyclinic, improving patient comfort and staff efficiency. The modernization has enabled us to utilize limited space more efficiently, for instance, by creating separate rest and dining rooms for medical staff."
Following the renovation, the administration purchased new furniture and opted for cheerful colors to enhance the children's experience during their visits. Informational sources indicate that the renovation took nearly seven months and cost over 13 million rubles. The works formed part of the "Modernization of Primary Healthcare" program, which is incorporated in the new national project "Long and Active Life," commencing in 2025.
Additional renovations for the polyclinic's other buildings are currently underway. For example, builders are renovating the entrance area, updating corridors, and doing interior work in several specialist offices at 23 Lenin Avenue. In June, roofing replacement and physical therapy room renovations are scheduled at the building on Makarova Street. The projected completion date for all renovations is fall of this year.
According to regional Ministry of Health data, Children's Polyclinic No. 18 serves around 27,000 children in Nizhny Novgorod. Enhancing children's healthcare facilities is crucial for strengthening the quality of medical services across the region.
