The State Statistics Service in the Udmurt Republic registered 334 765 children and adolescents aged 0 to 18 years. However, to date, the provision of children's population with the pediatric urologists-andrologists for the primary specialized health care assistance is only 12.5% of the Medical Care Provision standards for pediatric urology-andrology. As a result, the outpatient care for the children with urological and andrological diseases is carried out mainly by pediatricians and pediatric surgeons, which often has a very negative impact on the quality of diagnostic, therapeutic and prophylactic measures.  At the same time, in the State Health Care System of the UR there is no possibility of obtaining specialized uroandrological care for children in the day patient facilities. The specialized medical care, including high-tech, is provided only in the Uroandrological Department of the Children's Republican Clinical Hospital. The Bed Fund deficit is 25%. The situation has led to the decrease of availability and timeliness of specialized uroandrological care for children.

Objective

Assess the possibility of providing specialized uroandrological care for children in a Non-state Multi-profile Medical Center for increasing the volume and quality of the diagnostic and treatment process at the pre-hospital stage, expanding the types of uroandrological care in a day hospital and reducing the hospital stage duration of providing specialized medical care, including high-tech.

To ensure the activities of the Pediatric Urologist-andrologist Office, the capabilities of the clinical laboratory, urodynamic diagnostics office, the cystoscopic office, the procedure office, the Department of Ultrasound Diagnostics, the Department of Radiology, including an x-ray and magnetic resonance tomography offices are used. All these departments are the structural units of the Medical Center. In order to provide specialized care, including hi-tech care in a hospital and day-hospital conditions, the Children's Uroandrological Department has been established in the Multi-profile Hospital of the Medical Center.
