Stavropol upgrades emergency care after adopting Biysk's proven model

Stavropol has launched an upgraded emergency and urgent care system modelled on Biysk’s practices. The move follows a visit by Stavropol officials to Biysk in summer 2025 to study its efficient model. Specialists have praised Biysk’s centralised approach to emergency services. In summer 2025, a delegation from Stavropol Krai travelled to Biysk to examine its emergency care system. They observed how the city had streamlined its services under a unified dispatch system. The visit inspired Stavropol to adopt similar methods, leading to the recent launch of its own improved system.

Earlier, a team from Russia’s National Medical Research Center had also visited Biysk to assess its emergency medical service. Alexei Karnaukhov, chief physician of the Biysk Emergency Medical Station, acknowledged their valuable feedback. The station now plans to expand its system by integrating the city’s children’s polyclinic into the unified dispatch network.

Alexander Raevsky, a methodologist, intends to analyse Biysk’s model further. His goal is to recommend its adoption across other Russian regions. More delegations from different areas are expected to visit Biysk to learn from its experience. Biysk’s emergency care model has already influenced Stavropol’s new system. Its centralised approach and planned expansions demonstrate its effectiveness. Other regions may soon follow after studying its methods firsthand.
