d sections: cardiorheumatologic (60 beds, headed by T.V. Evdokimova), section of pediatrics and rehabilitation for children and adolescents who suffered from Chernobyl  catastrophe consequences (30 beds, headed by O.V. Melnyk, Cand. Sc.); section of endocrinology for patients with diabetes mellitus, thyroid, parathyroid and adrenal glands diseases, hypothlamo-pituitary disorders, obesity, growth and sexual development delay etc.  (60 beds, headed by N.V. Kolodyazhnaya); section of psychiatry for patients with neurotic and non-psychotic mental disturbances (40 beds, headed by V.S. Kud, Cand. Sc.); section of children’s gynecology for patients with gynecologic pathology of endocrine origin (30 beds, headed by O.Yu. Sheludko).

Since 1991 at the Institute there has been working the Centre for rehabilitation of children and adolescents who suffered from the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe, the Centre including an out-patient observation group, as well as 50 beds placed at the specialized departments of the in-patient clinic. The principle objective of the Centre is providing high quality specialized support to these children and to the offspring of the parents who took part in eliminating the Chernobyl consequences.

A highly skilled medical assistance is rendered every year to more that 40000 of children in the consultative polyclinic and to 4000 of children in the in-patient department.

At the clinico-diagnostic laboratory (headed by Honoured Physician S.V. Mameshina) among 130 methods of investigations there are employed conventional and special methods such as hematologic, cytologic, immunologic, biochemical and bacteriological. Determination of glycosylated hemoglobin, lipide spectrum and ferments with Cormey- multi biochemical analyzor are also carried out.

At the laboratory of radionuclide diagnosis (headed by S.V. Cherevatova) studies as regards hormonal levels and biologically active substances are performed using radioimmunology methods; dynamic and static studies of internal organs using radiopharmacological drugs labeled with 99Te make it possible to diagnose destructive changes in the tissues, centers of pathology and to reveal certain features of kidneys and liver functioning, and of cerebral circulation.

At the X-ray section (headed by  A.N. Garkusha) the following  methods of investigation are used: bone articular and thoracal roentgenoscopy and roentgenography using functional tests; gastro-intestinal study employing artificial hypotonia, as well as irrigoscopy, excretory  urography; bone and  pulmonary  tomography, ultrasonic study of the heart and internal organs, organs of small pelvis and mictional cystography.

The institute has ultrasonic diagnosing facilities where the specialists employ advanced methods to examine patients, including colourful doppler scanning, the methods making it possible to reveal, still at pre-clinical stages, development of cardio-vascular discases, hemodynamic disorders, congenital heart defects,  sexual system pathology and peculiarities of vascular topography of the thyroid gland.

Specialists of the section of rehabilitation therapy (headed by N.P. Ponomarenko, Cand. Sc.) are using up-to-date physiotherapeutical methods which make it possible to decrease medicamental loads on the patient’s organism: microwave therapy, electrophoresis of various curative substances, aerosols, lazeromagnitotherapy, ultrasonic reflexotherapy etc. At the balneotherapeutic unit of the department patients are treated with mud baths, pine, salty-pine, pearl and iodo-bromine  baths, underwater douche-massage etc.

22 complexes of therapeutic physical training are used at the department.
