A little bit about creating
The Central Demidov Hospital dates back to 1767, when the first factory hospital in a wooden building was opened in Nizhny Tagil on the orders of N. A. Demidov. In 1825, a 2-story stone building of the hospital was opened, which became the largest medical institution of those times in the Middle Urals.
For the long and glorious history of the hospital, and then the zemstvo hospital , such well-known doctors as P.V. Rudanovsky (included in the great Soviet encyclopedia), P.V. Kuznetskiy and D.P. Kuznetskiy worked here. In the 20s of the twentieth century, the hospital had the 2nd city hospital, which expanded the number of beds to 120, and the number of treatment departments to 3, an ambulance also appeared here.
And from history
In Soviet times, V. A. Lyapustin, L. I. Ivanov, S. A. Botashov, and many other well-known Russian doctors worked in this medical institution (then it was called the 2nd city hospital). In 1963, a new hospital building was built, another 8 departments were opened, including a clinic. In 1967, a maternity hospital and women's consultation were opened. The experience of organizing work with the population of the Demidov hospital was studied and implemented in other regions of Russia (Leningrad, Riga, Kaliningrad, Moscow).
In 1995, the 2nd and 3rd city hospitals were combined, and in 1997 the historical name Demidovskaya was returned to her.

About repair and quality of service
Repair of old premises and building facades is that fly in the ointment, which is located in a barrel of honey from an institution such as the Demidov Hospital of Nizhny Tagil.
Old buildings are history, but there are still many problems: narrow, dark corridors, crumbling plaster, poor communications. Although a lot of renovations, repairs, upgrades are underway, but they are not enough.
So far, a number of departments and additional services at the Demidov hospital (Nizhny Tagil) cannot repair to a modern level. The emergency room, located in the old room, serves as a vivid illustration of this.
