The history of the N. I. Pirogov Medical and Surgical Center began over 100 years ago, and today it is one of the most influential medical centers in Russia. Every year, it treats over 30,000 patients, and its physicians perform approximately 20,000 surgeries.

The center includes an inpatient facility, three clinical and diagnostic centers (one of which is pediatric), and the Institute for Physician Advancement. By bringing together specialists from various fields under one roof, the Pirogov Center is able to provide care for virtually any medical condition. The effectiveness of care is enhanced by modern technical equipment, including:

• Neuronavigation system for brain surgeries;

• Da Vinci surgical robot;

• Shockwave therapy system for the heart, enabling non-surgical treatment of ischemic heart disease;

• HIFU ultrasound ablation system for non-invasive tumor removal.

Patients from all over the country and from abroad seek care at the Pirogov Center because this is precisely where some of Russia’s best doctors work and where unique surgical procedures are performed.
