Report on the work of the chief pediatric surgeon of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation in 2022

Abstract

This editorial presents a report on the work of the Chief Pediatric Surgeon of the Ministry of Health of Russia for 2022. From the very beginning of his activity, he established regular interaction with the chief supernumerary pediatric surgeons and executive and legislative authorities of the regions of the Russian Federation, both remotely and by visiting surgical clinics in 15 cities. To prepare a program for the creation of interregional centers for specialized surgical care in the most popular medical specialties, much attention was given to the improvement of pediatric surgical care in the Far East with repeated trips to this region. As a result of the joint work with leading specialists of the Russian Association of Pediatric Surgeons and chief pediatric surgeons of the Russian Federation, the first “Regulations on Interregional Centers for Neonatal Surgery” was created. Chief pediatric surgeons organized surgical care for children in the special military operation zone and border regions with business trips to Taganrog, Rostov-on-Don, and Lugansk. Throughout the year, he coordinated round-the-clock assistance to injured children, and dozens of telemedicine consultations were held. Based on the result of a systematic survey of the chief supernumerary pediatric surgeons of the Russian Federation, a consolidated report on the activities of the pediatric surgical service of the Russian Federation for 2021 was formed, which was important to develop prospects for its further development.

The work plans of the chief pediatric surgeon for 2023 include the completion of important documents for the specialty: “The procedure for providing surgical care to children” and the “Professional standard for a pediatric surgeon”. There was also a task of implementing interregional neonatal surgery centers in the Far Eastern Federal District, and expert, educational work, and audit of children’s surgical clinics will be continued.
