Atkov talked about the specific features and priorities of the development of the railway health care and occupational medicine as an integrated structure. He paid particular attention to ensuring medical safety on trains and the system of medical and psycho-physiological control. Every year, Russian Railways carries out about 1.5 million expert medical examinations, 30 million pre-departure medical examinations, professional selections, dynamic control of the functional state and remediation activities.
“When you board our trains, you can rest assured that the locomotive crew has passed through a pre-departure medical control. You are transported by healthy, strong professionals,” said the Vice-President of Russian Railways.”
In addition, Oleg Atkov outlined the Company’s research priorities. So, the railway sector’s cardiology unit studies the effect of magnetic storms on the locomotive crew and searches for ways to minimise the risk of developing acute cases of cardiovascular disease.
