[Organization of emergency health care to patients with tuberculosis].
Tuberculosis hospital No. 7 is an emergency general tuberculosis institution. In 2005, a total of 3847 patients were sent to the reception room; out of them 2045 were delivered by ambulances. That year, there were 568 emergency surgical interventions for comorbidity (n=343) and tuberculosis and its complications (n=225). The high availability of current diagnostic procedures and the presence of different skilled medical specialists enable one to promptly establish the diagnosis, which improves prognosis and reduces the length of hospital stay and the number of admission to tuberculosis and general hospitals. Tuberculosis hospital No. 7 provides diagnostic and therapeutic (primary) aids to patients who need no hospital care, which reduces the potential time of disability. The activity of tuberculosis hospital No. 7 is aimed at upgrading the quality of medical aid, reducing the number of wrongful admissions and the length of hospital stay, improving the occupational and social prognosis in patients with tuberculosis, and considerably saving the budgetary funds of the Moscow Department of Health Care.
