The press center of the «KP in Vladivostok» a round table discussion on «Rheumatic diseases in children and adults, providing patients with drugs.»
As noted by the assembled experts, one of the main problems of the treatment of such diseases in Primorye — an acute shortage of specialists.
«Today, in Vladivostok physicians certified rheumatologist, who can treat children — all three» — Said Elena Ibragimov, chief pediatrician of Primorsky Krai. — «For doctors who work with such patients, it is very hard moral work, which is not supported financially. As a result, we can not keep them.»
However, not all areas of the province it is technically possible to open rheumatology department.
«Unfortunately, rheumatological bed for today there is only a Regional Children\’s Clinical Hospital № 2 (GBUZ KDKB number 2), and this is in some ways a good thing, because it is a very specific help,» — Said the head doctor GBUZ KDKB number 2 Inna Zelenova. — «There should be opened in Vladivostok, an official of the Cabinet of cytokine therapy. Basically we already have everything ready for this, the standards are. And, of course, somewhere in Mikhailovka territorial fund of obligatory insurance will not allow it to open, because the doctor needs tolerance and there is unlikely to find this level of experts. Indeed, in the course of therapy is very heavy drug use — it is very strongly suppresses the human immune system. »
According to experts, despite the shortage of specialists, «home» treatment and prevention of rheumatic diseases is invalid because powerful drugs can cause severe allergic reactions up to anaphylactic shock, which, in turn, is fraught with fatal consequences.
