Each year, the clinic’s physicians perform more than 6,000 surgical procedures. The center operates over 40 specialized and interdisciplinary departments. The hospital staff includes 200 physicians with excellent reputations and outstanding professional achievements.

The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art European devices and instruments for video endoscopy, all types of tomography, ultrasound diagnostics, laboratory testing, robotic surgery, and other advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The institution also features rehabilitation units where patients undergo comprehensive, multi-stage recovery under professional supervision.

The primary objective of the center’s physicians is to avoid surgical intervention whenever possible. However, when surgery is required, preference is given to minimally invasive techniques, as they preserve healthy tissues and structures, allow for faster recovery, and are better tolerated by patients.
