Specialists from the National Medical Research Radiological Centre  took part in the multidisciplinary conference dedicated to the 85th Anniversary of the Chechen Republic  Oncological Dispensary

Oncology service in the Chechen Republic began in 1934 with the opening of an oncology office with one doctor and two nurses. Today, it is one of the most dynamically developing structures, equipped with high-tech equipment, staffed with highly qualified personnel and possessing the entire spectrum of modern oncological care. In spite of any trials, people devoted to their work have always worked here. Many of them were recalled at the Interregional Scientific and Practical Conference “Oncology. Past, Present, Future”, which was welcomed on the opening day by the Chief Oncologist of the Ministry of Health of Russian Federation, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences – Andrei Kaprin.

“We have always gone hand in hand with Chechen doctors, we have a true professional friendship with many of them,” emphasized Andrey Dmitrievich. –  National Medical Research Radiological Centre  actively cooperates with the oncology service of the Chechen Republic and has been supervising it since 2015. When we first started involving the regions in our collective teleconferences, Grozny Oncologic dispensary was one of the first participants in this process. We have a whole dynasty of specialists from Chechnya working at the Center. For several years now there have been residents and postgraduates from Chechnya in almost every course, who study well and then return home to be of use to their republic.

Of course, in many respects, such an active development of the oncology service in the republic has become possible thanks to the targeted health policy of the relevant ministry, the republic’s leadership and personally Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov, who has been personally supervising the development of this area all these years.

The conference was attended by Khusein Akhmatkhanov, Chief Outside Oncologist of the Chechen Republic, and Usman Vagapov, Director of the Republican Oncological Dispensary.
