OREANDA-NEWS. On 17 April 2009 was announced, that St. Petersburg made its contribution to Ingosstrakh’s project aimed to develop a network of its own medical centers by the inauguration of Bud Zdorov Clinic. Despite the reverberations of the finance and economic crisis in the country, the Company managed to complete all steps necessary to set up a multi-profile medical facility that will be primarily focused on extending high-quality medical assistance to Ingosstrakh’s clients rather than imposing its services.

The major distinction of the new clinic from other medical centers or regular clinics is that it is equipped with up-to-date treatment and diagnostic facilities which provides patients with access to inpatient, outpatient and dental services. The clinic has a staff of certified medical specialists representing all major areas, including doctors of medicine and candidates of medical sciences. The diagnostic unit provides the clients with access to X-ray, ultrasound and endoscopic tests, computerized spirography, ECG, TMT, daily ECG monitoring and other types of tests, and the waiting period is minimal. The clinic is located within one building with the total area of 2,000 sq.m.

To improve efficiency and quality of service all medical processes are automated. Along with regular patient files, medical records will be kept electronically in a database that will contain the results of all consultations, examinations and tests. This innovation will allow to save time and control performance quality of the personnel.

The clinic’s major objective is to provide affordable and efficient high-level medical services to all clients. To maximize its convenience, insurance agents can visit clients at home or in the office. Besides, the clinic will receive the patient insured by IJSC Ingosstrakh under voluntary health insurance programs.

According to Alexander Grigoriev, General Director of IJSC Ingosstrakh, ‘The major goal of our Bud Zdorov project in St. Petersburg is to provide local residents with accessible high-quality medical services that will be up to international healthcare standards. We consider the inauguration of this clinic as both an element of our business strategy and our contribution to tackling social objectives, including building up of a modern market of medical insurance in St. Petersburg. Our aggregate investments in this clinic exceeded RUR180mln.’

Bud Zdorov Clinic is located at:  Ligovsky Prospect, 274 А, in direct proximity to a metro station and has a convenient access road for drivers. The clinic is open daily from 8 till 21 and can process up to 1000 patients a day.
