The experience of the oldest Nizhny Novgorod dynasty of doctors has exceeded 820 years.

      May 18, 2026 10:14 Society The medical dynasty of Abaimovs-Sidorovs from the Nizhny Novgorod region has once again updated its own record. During the study of the family genealogy tree, relatives found another branch related to medicine. As a result, the family's total experience in the healthcare sector has exceeded 820 years. Today, the dynasty includes 28 representatives of the medical profession. Among them are zemstvo doctors of past years, as well as modern surgeons, pediatricians, and therapists. The family became the winner of the "Medical Dynasties-2026" competition in the nomination "For Generational Continuity." The organizers of the competition are the Trade Union of Healthcare Workers of the Nizhny Novgorod Region and the regional Ministry of Health. "This is not just continuity, but a true code of mercy and loyalty to professional duty," noted the organizers of the competition. Let us remind you that last year in the nomination "Oldest Dynasty," the first place was taken by the Balalaikins family (Zavolzhskaya City Hospital - branch of the Gorodets Central District Hospital), which had a total medical experience of 418 years.
