The speaker of the Federation Council noted the uniqueness of the clinical diagnostic center. "This is the first and only officially registered medical train in the world. The train traveled along the BAM, it can go to the smallest villages. Thus, high-tech assistance becomes available to everyone."

Valentina Matviyenko thanked the doctors for their loyalty to the profession and for putting their hearts into making sure people are healthy. She also expressed words of gratitude to the management of Russian Railways, the Ministry of Health, and the Federal Medical and Biological Agency.

"FAPs are being built throughout the country. This is a great support for people. We want every person to be able to receive quality medical care," she emphasized. Valentina Matviyenko also recalled that with the assistance of the Federation Council, a hospital in Tynda was restored.

"Saint Panteleimon" began its route in August of this year. The train is designed to provide assistance to patients in remote areas of the country, the carriages house laboratory and therapeutic rooms, departments of radiation and functional diagnostics.
