How to develop the European quality of medicine in Russia? Verba Mayr clinic case

Author: Glozman Julia

For a long time, the main tasks of medicine were the preservation of life and emergency "repair" of the human body. However, with the development of science and technology, it became possible not only to treat existing diseases, but also to prevent possible diseases. So, today the direction of preventive medicine is gaining more and more popularity.

Experts from the Austrian health center Verba Mayr told Inc. what preventive medicine is, how the first center with European standards appeared in Russia, and what these standards are in general.

Adepts of Mayer Medicine in Russia

Verba Mayr is the only out-of-town medical center and hotel in Russia that is certified by an international association and guarantees full compliance with the principles of European preventive medicine. The center, designed by an Austrian architectural design bureau, was opened in 2015 on the site of a former cardiology and pulmonology sanatorium in the Pushkinsky district of the Moscow region.

The idea of ​​creating Verba Mayr was born in 2008. The leaders of the center were inspired by personal results from staying in similar health centers abroad, by the desire to change the face of domestic medicine and, most importantly, by the acute shortage of high-quality medical services in Russia. After a thorough analysis of medical concepts, the method of modern Mayer medicine was chosen according to the method of Franz Mayer (Austria). The most famous foreign centers of preventive medicine work on it.

What does the Mayer treatment method offer?

Mayer's therapy involves early diagnosis at the initial stage of the development of the disease, when a person is still in a state of "apparent health". The doctor diagnoses early signs of illness and corrects them with the help of nutrition, physical activity, medications, vitamin and mineral supplements, as well as manual and hardware procedures that improve metabolism and the condition of internal organs.

Popularization of preventive medicine

Nowadays, most visits to clinics are related to the treatment of various chronic diseases. In this case, the doctor begins treatment when the disease has already manifested itself.

In contrast to the preventive direction, which is responsible for the primary prevention of diseases, preventive medicine focuses on a warning development of probable diseases.

This is medicine for a healthy person. Its main task is not to treat existing diseases, but to identify changes in the body at the stage of pre-disease and correct the identified deviations.Preventive medicine brings the work of all organs and systems to balance at the level of cell health.

In Russia, the direction of preventive medicine is not yet very common, clinics of preventive medicine are rare at all, but this is a very promising direction. If earlier patients came to the doctor to treat an already existing disease, now there is a tendency to visit clinics to prevent the development of the disease.

A prime example of such medicine is detox, a concept that has become extremely popular in recent years. It is not only a popular practice for cleansing the body, but also an important tool in the choice of approach to the treatment of many chronic diseases. For example, even a temporary restriction (reduction) of calories in combination with other ways to start natural cleansing processes can strengthen the body and stop the development of inflammatory processes. It is based on detailed diagnostics and support of an experienced doctor certified in knowledge of the principles of preventive medicine.

Today, the Mayer technique is used in 22 centers in Germany, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Chile and Spain. It is constantly being developed and supplemented with modern highly effective means thanks to the work of the International Society of Meyer Therapists.

For a comprehensive assessment of the state of health before prescribing therapy, the doctor uses various informative practical laboratory tests that help to make individual recommendations for further lifestyle and Anti-age.

One of the foundations of modern preventive medicine is the concept of 5Ps. This is a new paradigm of medical thinking and medical care, an ideology of attitude towards the patient, based on monitoring the main indicators of health not of a population group, but of an individual person.

The 5Ps are the five most important principles in patient care: predictiveness, preventiveness, personalization, patient-centeredness and precision. The predictive component helps to predict, based on the cells, which diseases may manifest in the patient. Preventive – to prevent the disease when it has not yet manifested itself. Personalized – takes into account the characteristics and mechanisms of each patient. Patient-oriented – involves the patient in the treatment process. And finally, precision – provides the most targeted treatment with minimal medical intervention. Every year, the 5P concept is gaining more and more weight and is becoming part of the state policy in preventive health care both in Russia and abroad.
