Tashir group to build the first “hospital of the future” in Russia

As part of the 2017 Moscow Urban Forum taking place in the Russian capital on July 6-12, Tashir Group and the International Medical Cluster Foundation presented a project outlining a “hospital of the future” to be built in Skolkovo. The project envisions setting up the largest multi-purpose medical center that will become the first fully digital hospital in Russia and meet all international standards. Tashir Group will invest up to 15 billion rubles in this project. The construction of this world-class hospital (up to 75,000 sq. m.) is to begin in the fourth quarter of 2017 - early 2018 and to finish in 2021, with the center going fully operational.  

Construction and outfitting of the hospital based on the concept agreed on with the Moscow Government will be carried out by Tashir Medica (part of Tashir Group) together with an international partner, Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH). SNUBH is a modern medical center that tops the list of medical facilities in South Korea. Its cutting-edge technology and lifelong professional learning programs, from application of IT in healthcare to practical classes for honing specific skills involving the latest equipment and state-of-the-art simulators, will become available to Russian healthcare professionals.

“The International Medical Center is a global project, and for Moscow it’s a real breakthrough, so it’s no coincidence that we see investors showing interest in developing it. In the past people went abroad to get high-quality healthcare services, but now the best professionals from South Korea, Germany, the US, Israel and other countries have the opportunity to build their clinics here in Moscow. This center was designed using the most innovative approaches and in line with international standards. Thanks to the state-of-the-art equipment, the healthcare services provided will be of outstanding quality. The territory of the IMC will house about 15 clinics that will take up approximately 450,000 sq. m. and have the capacity to treat up to 380,000 patients a year,” said Marat Khusnullin, the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for urban planning policy and construction.

“Tashir is a multifaceted diversified group of companies that is constantly working on developing innovative businesses. We see great potential in cooperating with a leading medical organization and we will be happy to take part in a project of a global scale. We are convinced that this ‘hospital of the future’ will give great impetus for developing Russian healthcare and improve the quality of healthcare services provided to Russian people,” said head of Tashir Group Samvel Karapetyan.

“In order to improve our healthcare, we and our partners will set up a multi-purpose world-class hospital, the first ever in Russia, where the best medical practices will be used to provide healthcare services to patients, train doctors and introduce the latest treatments. All the necessary infrastructure for it will be up and running at the International Medical Cluster by 2021,” said Arsen Galstyan, executive partner at Tashir Medica.
