      Nearly 39 thousand patients were seen by the "Health Trains" in January–November of the current year. The results of the mobile diagnostic complexes' work over 11 months were summarized at the Ministry of Health of the Nizhny Novgorod Region.

      According to the department, during that time specialists from the "Health Trains" conducted more than 66.7 thousand consultations. In addition, almost 140.4 thousand examinations were performed for Nizhny Novgorod residents, including about 16 thousand fluorographies and 16 thousand electrocardiograms, almost 5.6 thousand ultrasound examinations, more than 10.5 thousand mammograms, and approximately 83.5 thousand laboratory tests.

      The work of the medical staff made it possible to detect 7.8 thousand cases of various diseases for the first time, including 109 cases of cancer. As a result of the examinations, almost 27.5 thousand patients were referred for further testing, and about 1.2 thousand people were referred for hospitalization.

      The schedule of the "Health Trains" for December has been published on the Ministry of Health's website.

      From December 1 to 5, the mobile diagnostic complexes will serve residents of the Ardatovsky, Balakhninsky, Bolsheboldinsky, Perevozsky and Tonshaevsky districts.

      Next week — from December 8 to 11 — the "Health Trains" will stop in the Vadsky, Volodarsky, Gaginsky, Sosnovsky and Tonkinsky districts.

      In the week of December 15 to 19, the mobile diagnostic complexes will operate in the Arzamas and Dzerzhinsk urban districts, as well as in the Vachsky, Pilninsky and Sharangsky districts.

      Recall, the "Health Trains" project has been implemented at the initiative of the Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, Gleb Nikitin, since 2018. The work of the mobile diagnostic complexes makes it possible to achieve the goals and objectives provided by the new national project "Longer and More Active Life."

      The national project "Longer and More Active Life" started in the country in 2025 at the instruction of Russian President Vladimir Putin. It is aimed at an expected increase in life expectancy by 2030 and involves further renovation of polyclinics, outpatient clinics and feldsher-obstetric stations; attracting an increasing number of qualified medical personnel to health facilities; applying new approaches to the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of chronic diseases; improving emergency medical care and rehabilitation systems; developing a network of national research centers; and digitalizing the sector.

      The national project includes 11 federal projects: "Health for Everyone," "Modernization of Primary Health Care," "Medical Personnel," "Combating Cardiovascular Diseases," "Combating Oncological Diseases," "Combating Diabetes," "Combating Hepatitis and Minimizing the Risks of Disease Spread," "Improvement of Emergency Medical Care," "Development of Federal Medical Organizations, including the Development of the Network of National Research Centers," the national platform "Health," and "Optimal Medical Rehabilitation for Health Recovery."
