November 11 through 14 Perm hosted the 15th International Medicine and Health Care Exhibition.

This is a unique project asked-for both by health care institutions and citizens. Perm patient care institutions took an active part in the exhibition.

According to Mr.Vadim Plotnikov, Head of the Health Care Department of Perm City, it is symbolic that every year the majority of the exhibition area is dedicated to mother and child health care, i.e. our future. For many years Perm health care institutions have been partners with a number of medical companies supplying equipment for in-patient and out-patient hospitals. This cooperation did give fruit. For example, latest models of anesthesia apparatuses, fetal monitors and other equipment improved the quality of medical services in obstetrical hospitals of the city.

It is worth mentioning that birth rate in Perm increases. It implies great demand in reliable equipment and introduction of efficient and safe standards into practice.

A major part of the exhibition is dedicated to prophylaxis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Taking into account significance of the aspect Perm City Administration does not spare resources for purchasing equipment for diagnostics and timely treatment of heart diseases.

Thus, in 2009 Perm emergency stations purchased latest technologies of telecardiometry which provide new possibilities for heart rate control - transfer of electrocardiograms from a patient to a doctor over a distance via telephone at any time. There were also bought medications for pre-hospital thrombolysis that reduce the risk of myocardial infarction development.

In 2008 Perm City Clinic #4 bought the INNOVA 3100 angiographic complex for infarctions and strokes diagnosing. At this clinic doctors also perform coronary stenting to avoid recurrent infarctions and other heart diseases.

How do these apparatuses work for Perm citizens? This is the topic for discussion at the Conference "Cardiovascular Diseases: Prophylaxis and Treatment".

At the exhibition there were presented latest technologies and state-of-the-art medical equipment for specialists to make the right choice.
