According to last year, 8,769 people over the age of 90 lived in the Leningrad region. This is several hundred more than in the previous two years. I'll be honest: at this age it can be difficult for a person to cope with everything on his own - his family needs to help. And awareness of regional support will make that help closer. Since 2019, a regional geriatric center has been operating at the Vesuvoluzhsk hospital. Another five geriatric clinics operate in interdistrict hospitals and provide primary medical care to older people. Centenarians can undergo examinations by specialists and laboratory diagnostics in a day or two; There is a project for people over the age of 65 from remote settlements - villages where it is not possible to walk to an outpatient clinic or a medical center. Three times a week they are brought for a medical examination at the health center. A separate medical registrar accompanies them to all the offices and the patients undergo a full examination and diagnosis and receive a consultation with a therapist. There are also programs for the prevention and treatment of chronic non-communicable diseases, providing free medication to patients who have had a heart attack, stroke or bypass surgery.
