To care for people with more serious illnesses who do not have a roof over their heads, we’re opening a charity medical clinic in St. Petersburg, where we are ready to lend a helping hand to everyone.

Why we are doing this

We want to give our patients in distress a full medical check-up because the conditions they find themselves in aggravate chronic diseases and cause new ones. But unfortunately, professional medical care is not available to them due to a lack of documents or money, and these people end up left alone with diseases that can be cured or prevented.

Moreover, having a clinic will allow us to obtain a medical license. It will allow us to collaborate with state hospitals and clinics on common medical programs, as well as propose legislative changes to improve access to medical care for our undocumented patients in distress.

What we are building

Our clinic will be in St. Petersburg, near the Narvskaya subway station. Our actual address: Baltiyskaya st, 36\9 letter А. 

There will be three main rooms for medical procedures, an administrative, and service rooms. There will be a family doctor, a general practitioner, and a traumatologist. We will be possible to perform ultrasound, ECG and simple diagnostic tests, and two nurses will assist in the work. Specialists and our colleagues from the leading medical clinics of the city will be invited for consultations. We will be able to admit 50 patients a day.

We believe that in the 21st century, medicine should be accessible to everyone, regardless of the situation in which people find themselves.

News and results of our 2022-2023 work

In December of 2022 we rented non-residential premises of 80m² in Saint Petersburg for a long term. 

In April of 2023 we have successfully comleted a crowdfunding campaign for renovation and redevelopment of the premises (see campaign’s page for more details). Together with experts and volunteers we finished all the construction work in May 2023.

By the end of summer we have acquired the medical and office equipment and finally got medical license. We are happy to announce that we open our doors to the first patients in October 2023!

How to help

With money: we’re currently looking for funding for operational expenses after the opening of the clinic. We need to pay for the rent of the premises and utility bills, the removal of medical waste, internet, fire alarm maintenance, make regular purchases of household products and medical goods and also pay for the work of an administrator, a doctor and a janitor.
