Dushanbe, The Europe Today: Emomali Rahmon, President of the Republic of Tajikistan and Leader of the Nation, opened the Dushanbe International Hospital in the capital on November 13. He was joined by Rustami Emomali, Chairman of the Majlisi Milli of the Majlisi Oli and Mayor of Dushanbe.
On a tour of the facility, the President was told the hospital can provide diagnostic services to 1,200 patients at the same time and has room for 150 inpatients. Its 30 departments all have modern diagnostic, treatment and laboratory equipment.
The hospital runs on digital technology. Every stage of care, from registering a patient through diagnosis and treatment to viewing examination results, is linked in one information system.
Advanced Diagnostics Powered by Artificial Intelligence
The hospital’s diagnostic equipment uses artificial intelligence to help diagnose diseases of the brain, heart, lungs, spine and other organs accurately. Among its key machines is a 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. The hospital also has an angiography system for diagnosing and treating vascular diseases, three-dimensional digital mammography and modern X-ray systems.
Officials said these technical capabilities will support complex medical examinations, early disease detection, surgery and emergency medical care. Automated processes, cashless payment and other modern services make dealing with the hospital simpler for patients and cut down administrative work. This leaves medical staff more time for their main job of restoring and protecting people’s health.
Wide Range of Specialised Services
The hospital offers specialised care in cardiology, pediatrics, neurology, neurosurgery, urology, gynecology, ophthalmology, dentistry and other fields. A dedicated check-up department provides full preventive examinations to assess patients’ overall health and catch diseases early. The hospital also has a cafeteria with 150 seats and a conference hall for 80 people, for the comfort of patients and staff.
The hospital currently employs 186 local and foreign specialists, including doctors, nurses, laboratory specialists and administrative staff. Once all departments are fully running, the permanent workforce is expected to grow to 420.
A Hub for Research, Training and International Cooperation
Besides providing modern healthcare, Dushanbe International Hospital is expected to become a centre for international cooperation, scientific research and medical education. It will support scientific studies, professional training and advanced development for medical specialists. This is expected to bring international expertise into the country, build up domestic medical staff and introduce modern medical practices.
Officials expressed confidence that, with its advanced equipment and internationally qualified specialists, the hospital will let Tajik citizens get comprehensive, high-quality diagnosis and treatment at home, without travelling abroad.
President Emomali Rahmon gave instructions and recommendations to the officials in charge. He told them to make full use of the new facility, to keep its services at international standards, and to always put citizens’ health first.
The opening of the hospital in the capital is an important step towards stronger healthcare infrastructure, more advanced medical technology and better healthcare for the people of Tajikistan.
