Novosibirsk Institute trains medical specialists for Central Asia

The Novosibirsk Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after Ya. Tsivyan is actively involved in training medical professionals for countries across Central Asia. Andrey Korytkin, the institute's director, shared this information during a press tour for journalists from Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan.

We provide emergency care for patients with spinal cord injuries, they are delivered to us within 24 hours, regardless of where the injury occurred, using sanitary aviation (air transport or ground transport); as well as injuries to the proximal femur. That is, conditions that have maximum mortality and disability.

The institute operates across three primary domains: education, scientific research, and medical practice. Its specialists offer highly qualified assistance to patients suffering from pathologies of the musculoskeletal system, as well as the central and peripheral nervous systems. The institute provides emergency care for spinal cord injuries and proximal femur fractures, conditions often associated with high mortality and disability rates, ensuring patients are transported and treated within 24 hours using air or ground medical transport.

Annually, the clinic receives a significant number of patients from Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and other nations. Many seek treatment for complications arising from previous surgical interventions or for unresolved issues with existing pathologies. In its educational capacity, the institute cultivates specialists in three key areas that have historically been developed within the institution.

We prepare specialists in three areas, which the institute has historically developed and which, in one way or another, contribute to eliminating the shortage of personnel in a number of regions in Russia and other countries that turn to us for training highly qualified personnel.

This training initiative aims to address the shortage of highly qualified personnel in Russia and other countries that seek specialized medical education. Korytkin noted that the institute hosts a considerable number of residents from Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and other nations, specializing in fields such as anesthesiology, traumatology, and neurosurgery. The institute performs over 14,000 high-tech operations annually and conducts approximately 1,500 telemedicine consultations, incorporating advancements in artificial intelligence and robotic technology.

We have quite a lot of residents from Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and other countries (anesthesiologists, traumatologists, and neurosurgeons).
