Городская клиническая больница № 31

Городской центр диагностики и лечения воспалительных заболеваний кишечника (Центр ВЗК)

St Petersburg's city centre for the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease, set up by the city Health Committee in June 2007 as a structural unit of City Clinical Hospital No. 31. It links the hospital's therapy and surgery departments so that patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are followed through both medical and surgical stages of care; operations for complicated disease are done by colorectal surgeons in the surgery department. The centre has its own outpatient department in a separate building, with gastroenterologists and a clinical psychologist. A first consultation under state insurance (OMS) needs a referral from the patient's own polyclinic and goes through a selection commission.
