Russian Railways presented new mobile medical train "Saint Panteleimon"
The train is a Mobile Clinical and Diagnostic Centre (MCDC) whose main task is to provide professional high-quality medical care to the people living in Russia’s inaccessible regions. The train’s route passes through 8 Russian regions – the Republic of Buryatia and Sakha (Yakutia), the Trans-Baikal, Primorsky and Khabarovsk Territories and the Amur, Irkutsk and Jewish Autonomous Regions.
Saint Panteleimon consists of 14 carriages in all, with six auxiliary cars containing compartments for the headquarters, staff accommodation, a shower with washing equipment, a power station and a restaurant, while the other eight are for medical purposes and include carriages for radiation and functional diagnostics, two therapeutic, surgical, laboratory and staff carriages and a registration carriage. The offices are equipped with modern high-tech equipment. The corridors, doorways and toilet facilities have been designed to enable easy access for visitors with disabilities.
The mobile clinic can carry out a whole series of different medical examinations on patients, including X-rays, mammograms, ultrasound, spirometry and stress tests. An endocrinologist, urologist, surgeon, paediatrician and geriatrician are on hand to provide consultations. One of the mobile clinic’s unique features is the use of the artificial intelligence system "Celsus," which is named after a Greek philosopher and represents a leading Russian development with high quality features capable of analysing X-ray studies.
