Организация работы в г. Якутске по больным туберкулезом, освободившимся из учреждений УФСИН

Tuberculosis is still an acute sociomedical problem in Yakutsk. To approach the problem of engaging tuberculosis patients to undergo medical check-ups and treatment in problem patients, released from the system of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia, we initiated raids and door-to-door visits conducted jointly by the staff of the Yakutsk City Antituberculosis Dispensary (Phthisiatry Research-Practice Center), primary healthcare facilities, and Yakutsk Intermunicipal Agency of Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. As a result of joint raids, 27 individuals with active disease were examined and started on therapy, who were previously considered to have defaulted from regular medical check-up, 10 non-existent addresses and 7 problem families were detected. Phthisiatry Research-Practice Center initiated, prepared and ensured the signing of an agreement between Yakutsk Intermunicipal Agency of Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yakutsk City Department of Russian Service of Court Bailiffs for Sakha Republic (Yakutia), Phthisiatry Research-Practice Center, and Yakutsk Health Administration of the Ministry of Health of Sakha Republic (Yakutia)
