Makhachkala, March 13, 2018. An additional building of the Republican Oncology Dispensary worth 110 million rubles will be built in Dagestani administrative center – Makhachkala.  This was stated on Monday, March 12, at the press conference by the Minister of Public Health RD Tanka Ibragimov.

"110 million rubles has already been allocated for the construction of the building. In the near future a gamma-knife center for radiotherapy is planned to be opened in Makhachkala. Not only the Dagestanis, but the residents of other regions may receive qualified medical assistance in Dagestan. This will become a breakthrough in the healthcare sphere of the region" - the press service of the Ministry is quoted saying.

According to Ibragimov, the mortality rate from malignant neoplasms in Dagestan is 2.5 times lower than the average Russian indicators. However, there is a tendency to increase mortality among cancer patients. Such a situation, according to the minister is observed not only in Dagestan, but across the whole country.

Besides, as to Tanka Ibrahimov, 60 million rubles from the reserve fund of the Russian president will be allocated for the overhaul of the Republican Center for Infectious Diseases.

According to the Ministry of Public Health of Dagestan, only one oncological dispensary for 200 beds operates in the republic. In 2012 a construction of polyclinic for 200 visits started in Makhachkala which is expected to replace the older one designed 40 visitors. Due to the lack of funding the works were suspended.
