Medical establishment in South Ural spearheaded by Aleksei Teksler: Catalysts for healthcare progression
In the heart of the Southern Urals, two significant healthcare projects are underway, set to revolutionize the region's pediatric and multiprofile medical services. These projects, the Children's Surgical Complex in Chelyabinsk and the Multiprofile Medical Center in Magnitogorsk, are scheduled for completion within the next few years.
The Children's Surgical Complex in Chelyabinsk, upon completion, will be one of the largest surgical profile hospitals in the Urals Federal District. The new facility will house 16 operating blocks, including three emergency and two for surgical pathology. It will offer pediatric transplantation services, including kidney, liver, lung, and bone marrow transplants for oncogeematological patients. The complex will also feature rehabilitation facilities and comfortable conditions for parents staying with their children.
The complex will have a total area of 55,000 square meters, with 300 beds, including 230 surgical and 70 oncogeematological beds. Governor Alexei Teksler personally oversees both projects and regularly visits sites to monitor progress. As of mid-2025, construction on the surgical building on the territory of the children's regional clinical hospital in Chelyabinsk has already completed three out of six planned floors.
The Children's Surgical Complex aims to "concentrate the best minds and hands of the region," offering services such as hearing restoration, vascular, and maxillofacial surgery, not currently separately provided for children in the region.
Meanwhile, the Multiprofile Medical Center in Magnitogorsk, upon completion by 2029, will symbolize the system's renewal in time for Magnitogorsk's centennial. The center will serve the southern region, providing affordable, quality medical care to over half a million South Ural residents. Upon completion, the center will have nearly 500 beds with a wide range of specializations, including cardiology, neurology, surgery, trauma, and 30 intensive care units.
The center will increase access to high-tech care, reduce staff shortages, optimize patient routing, decrease the risk of hospital infections, and lower mortality rates. The implementation of new digital technologies and a patient-centered approach will drive the development of South Ural healthcare in the Multiprofile Medical Center in Magnitogorsk.
Regular updates on the projects are provided to the federal Ministry of Health by the Chelyabinsk region's Ministry of Health. For the most current and official updates on these major infrastructure projects, it is recommended to consult regional government health portals or official press releases from the Chelyabinsk and Magnitogorsk administrations or their health departments.
Given the ongoing healthcare projects in the Southern Urals, I'm not sure if the new facilities, such as the Children's Surgical Complex in Chelyabinsk and the Multiprofile Medical Center in Magnitogorsk, will fully address all medical-conditions, particularly in regard to the advanced services like pediatric transplantation, hearing restoration, vascular, and maxillofacial surgery, which are currently limited in the region. Despite the potential advancements in science and health-and-wellness these projects promise, it's crucial to monitor their progress and impact closely to ensure they meet their intended goals and improve the overall healthcare situation for the residents of the Southern Urals.
