The head of state inspected the hospice facilities, talked with staff and patients, congratulated everyone on the New Year and Christmas, and also presented gifts. The President was accompanied by Archpriest Alexander Tkachenko, at the initiative of which the hospice was opened, the Acting Governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov and the Minister of Health Veronika Skvortsova.
The main activity of the hospice is to help children aged from three months to 18 years living in St. Petersburg, aimed at relieving pain and alleviating other serious manifestations of diseases at the stage when the possibilities of radical treatment are exhausted.
Specialists of the hospice, based on their own experience, have created a number of methodological manuals on palliative medical care. Specialists from the regions regularly come to the hospice to study an integrated approach to help children with disabilities and further disseminate work experience to other medical institutions of this type.
