Texts and Dialogues District Polyclinic

In cities and towns the basic unit of Public Health Service is the polyclinic. Polyclinics are large units, each often employing as many as 200 doctors.

Polyclinics are of three main types - those for the adult population of a given area, those situated in factories and plants (for employees only), and those for children. Thus, within one family, it is possible to have father, mother and child served by three separate polyclinics. The work of the polyclinic is many-sided and responsible one. Ambulatory help is the most mass type of medical help. One of the important subdivisions of the polyclinic is the registry. There are also many studies (rooms, consulting-rooms): therapeutic, surgical, neurologic, ophthalmologic, otorhinolaryngologic, infectious diseases, stomatology, traumatology, the room for medical examination, a special room for teen-agers, some auxiliary rooms - physiotherapeutic, X-ray, electrocardiologic, procedure room, laboratory, etc. When the patient comes to the local polyclinic he most often sees first his own district doctor, who seeks specialist's advice only where necessary. In other cases, the patient himself, with a little help from the reception staff, selects the specialist who appears to be most suitable. It may be a surgeon, an ophthalmologist, a dermatologist or any other specialist he needs. The patient who is ill at home is visited by his local district doctor. Only minor illnesses are treated at home; all other patients are hospitalized.
