Polyclinic

There is a wide network of medical institutions in Ukraine which protect the health of our people. One of such medical institutions is a polyclinic.

If a person falls ill, but his condition isn't very poor and he has no high temperature, he will go to the district polyclinic and a physician will examine him there.

There are a lot of specialists working at the polyclinic: therapeutists, neurologists, dermatologists, urologists, ophthalmologists, ENT-doctors, traumatologists, endocrinologists, surgeons, etc. Besides, polyclinics have their own laboratories, X-ray, physiotherapeutic, surgical and other departments. There are specialized polyclinics for the adults and children.

During the medical examination, a physician usually asks the patient what he complains of and according to the complaints carries on the medical examination. The physician listens to the patient's heart and lungs and measures his blood pressure and if it is necessary, he will ask the patient to take the temperature. The laboratory findings which include blood analysis, the analysis of urine (urinalysis) and other tests help the physician to make a correct diagnosis and administer a proper treatment.

If the condition of a person is very poor, he will ring up his district polyclinic and call in a district doctor.

The work of district doctors is very intensive. In addition to their consulting hours at the polyclinic they go out to the calls daily to examine those patients who are seriously ill and whose condition is bad. Such sick persons receive a sick-leave. They usually follow a bed regimen. District doctors are especially busy during seasonal epidemies such as flu.

Any physician of the polyclinic knows his patients very well because he treats only a definite number of patients. There is a personal patient?s card of every patient at the district polyclinic which is filled in by his physician. There are all the details about the patient in his card: the diagnosis of the disease, the administrations made by the doctor, the course of the disease, the changes in the patient's condition after the treatment.

If it is necessary a nurse will come to the patient's house to give him the administered injections or carry out any of the doctor's administrations.
