Soon Ufa will host V international scientific and practical conference on ophthalmosurgery "East-West". OBVIOUS-PROBABLE. Panorama Of Bashkortostan. No. 1. February.2014
Soon Ufa will host V international scientific and practical conference on ophthalmosurgery "East-West", which became one of the solid platforms for exchange of experience in this field. More than 700 ophthalmologists, among them leading scientists from around the world, visited annually by our Institute of eye diseases and give a high evaluation of its activities in addressing socially significant tasks of saving the nation's health, and the development of applied and fundamental science. If you remember that just eight years ago, the Institute was on the verge of closing, then the breakthrough his team hard to fit in the most daring scheme. The fact that the Institute saved as important for Belarus and the Ural region scientific structure, as the Apple of his eye has kept him for thousands in need of assistance of highly qualified citizens— is now obvious. What was the probability in the success of the course on innovation? In connection with the professional holiday of Russia's scientific community on this and many other says the Director of the State institution "Ufa research Institute of eye diseases of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Bashkortostan" doctor of medical Sciences, honored doctor of the Russian Federation and Belarus, chief ophthalmologist of the healthcare Ministry of Belarus, Professor Mukharram BIKBOV.
OBVIOUS - PROBABLE
-In 2006 year , the Institute threatened fate stay private clinic. And was whether the potential for such a decisive restructuring of the scientific-practical activities, Muharram Muharemovic?
- The world practice showed that in any case we need all eyes look beyond the horizon, to promote scientific development, to think seven moves ahead and give the experts the opportunity to realize themselves. By that time our Institute had sufficient authority in Russia, the research Institute faithfully served in the healthcare field, but the prospects for ophthalmologists and for patients with vision problems, weakened from year to year. A lot of whether the good is a good doctor, if he is not growing professionally, not using new techniques, has a miserable salary, and the clinic is antediluvian equipment?
In 2006 we managed to defend the right to existence of the Institute. And then I had to prove what they are capable team. Was made a fundamental change in the structure and volume of work. System research Institute, is introduced to a new level, the opportunity to come into fruitful contacts with the scientists of world size, to enter into partnership with leading equipment manufacturers, developers of drugs, to make our clinic one of the most technically equipped in Russia and Belarus. But most importantly, what keeps the Institute's specialists. They are true patriots, talented scientists and wonderful practice. We were given the chance, we took it and survived.
- Have each team has itsstrong point, which and creates fame, works on the image of the institution.
style="text-align: justify;">- currently, our Institute is a center of high technology eye care, a large multidisciplinary institution, where the fusion of science and practice, highly qualified personnel and unique equipment, which have the best hospitals in the world, provide productive work in the whole spectrum of eye diseases. This is its social value and scientific asset for Russia.
Our second significant advantage - highly developed vitreoretinal surgery. In 2006, only 400 patients with diabetes, which in most cases lead to irreversible blindness, saving eyesight. With the opening of a new branch every year more than 4,000 people almost gain a second life after vitreoretinal surgery.
In the Charter of the Institute is enshrined in the mandatory scientific activity, and in the last five years our team has established itself well on the Russian and world level. We are going to study, leading developers trust the testing of new techniques, our doctors are invited to make presentations at prestigious international scientific congresses, symposia, internship and work abroad. In the intersectoral program of the Ufa accepts patients from all over Russia for the treatment of corneal diseases in our fundamentally new and veryeffective technique.
- Yes, brilliant idea often comes in the bright minds of different people, and luckily, Ufa doctors too. We are faced with such a scientific phenomenon: worked almost in parallel with Gregor Valenica from Germany - author of methods of treatment of the cornea based on the change in the structure of cells and has enormous potential. his concept successfully fits our. Now we are colleagues, publish a joint book. In the common scientific path we have secured partnership with the world's luminaries of vitreoretinal surgery Ingrid Kreissig. With a group of leading specialists from "Queen mother" of ophthalmology has repeatedly visited our Institute and included Ufa doctors in training. We are learning on an equal footing, and it is in recognition of the professionalism of the team.
With the change of the economic model of work of the Institute we have drastically reduced bureaucratic layer and passed rate academic staff. The amount of funds provided through the Academy of Sciences RB, is about five percent mandatory funding. The rest we earn ourselves through contracts. For example, we have developed a method and equipment for treatment of the cornea, for which there is strong demand in clinics of Russia. Our principle is: to receive funds not from patients, but at the expense of intellectual activity. Academy of Sciences of the Republic methodological guidance, provided start-up capital, and our task - to provide decent working conditions for professionals, motivating the team to look for innovative methods of treatment, the development and introduction of scientific developments. To exploit the enthusiasm of people to get them to work with full dedication for the sake of ideas is not an efficient method.
The Institute removed egalitarianism in pay, a clearly established system of incentives. For each operation, the surgeon, for example, receives points and is a plus to the salary. Medical equipment base of the Institute allows talented doctors to work ten times more efficient and productive to engage in scientific search.
- On the recently turned 75 years old Bashkir ophthalmology , academician Aznabaeva, a quarter of a century who led the Ufa research Institute of eye diseases.
- Boundless gratitude to Marat Talgatovich our entire team, heads of Russian ophthalmology, and thousands of patients research Institute. At the time he made a true scientific feat, and took the highest mark in practice. The introduction of operations in eye microsurgery have created the glory of the Institute. By analogy with Svyatoslav Fyodorov, he made available the latest methods of rescue of view of inhabitants of the Bashkir provinces, laying the medical database in the country. They now operate in Maloyaz, Beloretsk,October.
The works of Marat Talgatovich was one of the priorities in Russia. As the founder of the school of pediatric ophthalmologists he was the first in the USSR began to operate on the babies. Personally for me gave a wonderful teacher who continues to help the native Institute as chief scientific Advisor.
- Once in the Bashkir theatre of Opera and ballet my neighbor in the row was a man-villager of years 70-ti. As soon opened the curtain, he burst into tears and for a long time not could soothe the tears. After the performance apologized and explained, that five years ago almost went blind, stopped walking, sat down near the house on the bench and began to wait for death. But the children insisted on going in the Ufa scientific research Institute, where he took on operation for the reason of cataract. Happy seeing grandfather, before leaving to himself in the Orenburg region, asked to take him to the ballet.In life not met the man, so lit from joy...
- And at us in Institute such scenes are played out daily. This is probably the highest appreciation of our work, and we rejoice with the people who were able to regain visual contact with the world. I remember that grandfather, he told us then to the fairing brooms coligny sent, he was knitting. The kids say, is still in its villages "lectures" ophthalmology and Bashkir ballet. God bless you, father!
