Since the twenties of the last century and before the beginning of the new century, the polyclinic and hospital, from which the history of the Pirogov National Medical and Surgical Center began, were intended for scientists and creative intellectuals. Therefore, starting with the CECILS‘s polyclinic, the coryphaees of the time worked here, including outstanding domestic surgeons:
Polyclinic for scientists in the center of Moscow (Gagarinsky per. 37) was famous for therapists who made a significant contribution to the development of Russian medicine, such as V.F. Zelenin, M.P. Konchalovsky, D.D. Pletnev, D.M. Russian, V.D. Shervinsky, A.I. Yarotsky, G.F. Lang et al.
Many of the therapists were prominent specialists of the past, which the whole country was proud of.
Professors of other specialties who advised outpatients in the new polyclinic also deserved attention.
Among them, one can not fail to mention outstanding obstetrician-gynecologists, including S.I. Blagovolin, G.F. Lang, I.L. Braude, A.D. Kazansky, Yu.V. Snegirev, as well as remarkable domestic neuropathologists, dermatologists, ophthalmologists, otolaryngologists and other doctors, whose names have rightly entered the treasury of Russian medical science and practice.
The best of the best Russian doctors were consultants here, called to provide highly qualified medical care to the scientific, and then the creative elite of the state. The accelerated development of the polyclinic for scientists and creative intellectuals, as the forerunner of the Pirogov National Medical and Surgical Center, was received in the pre-war and especially in the post-war years. Modernization of its buildings lasted several decades, beginning in the twenties and ending in the sixties, before they acquired the familiar form for us.
In 1950, by decision of the Moscow City Council of Working People’s Deputies, a polyclinic for scientists and creative intellectuals got a land plot for the construction of a specialized hospital. Until then, patients who needed inpatient treatment were sent from the polyclinic to different Moscow hospitals. In each of them, there were several beds for scientists and creative intellectuals. The future hospital, which construction was planned in the Izmailovo area, was intended exclusively for this contingent of patients.
Design and building work for the construction of the hospital for scientists and creative intellectuals were carried out in
N.I. Ermolov — the chief doctor of the hospital and polyclinic, intended for scientists and creative intellectuals. After the completion of construction works, N.I. Ermolov became the first chief doctor of the hospital for scientists and creative intellectuals, remaining the director of the profile polyclinic.
October 28, 1958 the first patients were admitted to inpatient treatment in the hospital for scientists and creative intellectuals, while not all the medical and diagnostic departments have started to work in full.
A few more months passed before the total number of beds deployed in them was equal to the standard one and reached 300. Therefore, this day marks the beginning of the work of the emergency room, I surgical, neurological, I and II therapeutic departments, as well as the
On May 22, 1959, or on the day of Nikola the summer saint and miracle worker Nicholas, one of the most revered saints in the world, the hospital bed capacity of the hospital for scientists and creative intellectuals reached the standard capacity due to eight deployed treatment and diagnostic departments, including 3 surgical, 4 therapeutic and one neurological.
