The 442th military clinical hospital celebrates 180th anniversary.

The Hospital made a great contribution to the development of national healthcare during its 180-years history. Outstanding medical scientists of XIX-XX centuries, such as Bekhterev, Sklifosovsky, Vreden, Kupriyanov, Petrov and many others stood not only behind the history of the Hospital, they represented scientific society of military medical science. The merit of the Hospital cannot be overestimated during the World War II period, when 82% of the wounded and sick soldiers were returned to duty. The Hospital is considered as one of the best hospitals in the medical service of the Western Military District of the Russian Federation. Despite the on-going reconstruction of the main building, the year of 2014 has been eventful - institutional personnel achieved positive progress in improving combat skills and field training in the sphere of medical support in the district. Nowadays the methods of tutoring seminars with all categories of personnel are actively being improved. Currently 442th Military clinical hospital of Russian Defense Ministry is in the process of acquisition of its modern appearance. Phased plan for reconstruction and capital construction of its main building is now successfully implementing.
